Uncertain Future: Eric Bailly’s Possible Move to Spain

While he has one year left on his contract with Manchester United, the central defender is not part of Erik Ten Hag’s plans. The Dutch technician of the Red Devils has also decided not to include him in the group for the pre-season tour in the United States.

Eric Bailly’s destination for next season remains uncertain, as few clubs seem to be scrambling to secure the services of the Ivorian central defender. After not being retained at the end of his loan at Olympique de Marseille, he knows that he has no future at Manchester United. The club have even made this clear to him, and the Red Devils are said to be ready to let him go this summer, even lowering their demands.

While Éric Bailly has not yet found a new club, Ten Hag has decided to dismiss him. The Ivorian player is one of only two internationals who did not return to training with the squad on Saturday. To make him understand his situation more, he was excluded from the trip to the United States. Bailly is placed on the transfer list, as is Alex Telles, who also finds himself sidelined.

A track in Spain for the Ivorian defender

Last season, Eric Bailly went on loan to Olympique de Marseille to revive. However, things didn’t go as planned for the Ivorian player. He was the victim of physical problems, which prevented him from playing many matches, to the point of losing the confidence of the technical staff and the management of the club. So far, Betis Sevilla are the only club that have shown real interest in the player during this transfer window.
