ongoing negotiations with Eric Bailly!
AC Milan is looking to recruit a central defender before the end of the winter transfer window, in order to compensate for the absences of Simon Kjaer and Fikayo Tomori, injured. And the priority is called Éric Bailly (27 years old and under contract with MU until June 2024) in particular after the refusal of LOSC to let go of Sven Botman and the difficulty of the Abdou Diallo (PSG) file. The robust Ivorian defender of Manchester United, who is at the CAN in Cameroon with the Elephants currently, always has desires elsewhere.
Announced at OL before the signing of Jérome Boateng last summer, the former Villarreal played as many games with the selection as with the Red Devils. Without a future in Manchester where he has only been replacing the substitute for 5 years, Éric Bailly would welcome a departure to Lombardy. While Milan’s interest is nothing new, we can safely say that talks are ongoing between the two clubs for a loan move until the end of the season with AC taking over the player’s huge salary. Milano. It is on this point that the negotiations are currently stumbling. For its part, AS Roma is also following the file, but at a much less advanced stage.
