Aston Villa is close to finalizing the signing of Ecuadorian left-back Pervis Estupiñán, having reached an agreement with the player on all personal terms, in a move that reflects the English club's desire to strengthen the left flank during the summer transfer window.
According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Estupiñán has expressed his desire to move to Aston Villa, while the club continues its negotiations with Milan to reach a final agreement on the value of the deal.
Head coach Unai Emery has placed the Ecuadorian full-back at the top of his priorities, viewing him as the ideal option to replace the expected departure of Frenchman Lucas Digne, who is close to leaving Villa Park this summer.
Despite progress in negotiations with the player, the completion of the transfer will depend on Aston Villa and Milan reaching an agreement on the financial terms, with optimism about closing the negotiations in the coming days.
