Sure enough, Estupinan featured in all three friendlies that he was available for (arriving a little late after the World Cup), showing both good and bad sides to his game.

No instructions for Mendes According to Fabrizio Romano, Milan recently had a meeting with Jorge Mendes to discuss the remainder of the mercato, including everything from the future of Rafael Leao and Pervis Estupinan to potential signings. As things stand, it seems the Rossoneri could consider keeping Estupinan for the 2026-27 season, seeing as they didn’t communicate to Mendes that the left-back needed to be sold.
