AC Milan supporters have taken to social media to express significant frustration with Pervis Estupinan following his appearance in a recent 1-1 friendly draw against Inter. Many fans argued that the club made a strategic error by failing to complete a transfer to Aston Villa, a move that coach Ruben Amorim had previously requested be delayed so he could evaluate the player during pre-season training.
The Ecuador international entered the match as a half-time substitute but struggled to make a positive impact. His performance was marked by a series of errors, including a giveaway that led to a goal and a failure to intercept a cross from Nicolò Barella, which allowed Federico Dimarco to score. Additionally, Estupinan received a late yellow card for a challenge on Yann Bisseck, an incident that forced the Inter defender to leave the pitch due to a head injury.
Online criticism was swift and harsh, with many supporters asserting that the defender does not meet the standards required for the Milan squad. Lorenzo Lollo described the player's performance as a "nightmare" and argued that he cannot be considered a first-choice player, calling for his immediate sale. Matt Santangelo echoed these sentiments, stating that there was nothing further to evaluate regarding the player's ability and insisting that "he’s got to go."
