OM Mercato: Mourinho positions himself on a Marseille target
Like the coach Jorge Sampaoli recently admitted, Olympique de Marseille will make some changes to its workforce during the next summer transfer window. The Marseille club intends to strengthen in each compartment, starting with the defense. William Saliba, Duje Caleta-Car and Alvaro Gonzalez are getting closer to a start, it will necessarily be necessary to expand this sector of play.
It is in this perspective that the management of OM reactivated an old defensive track, the one leading to Eric Bailly. The Ivorian international is going through a complicated situation at Manchester United. Barred by tough competition at the Red Devils, the 28-year-old defender should seek more playing time elsewhere. The management of OM then quickly focused on this target that they have been fond of for a long time. However, the Italian press today brings bad news for OM, indicating that the Marseillais will have a strong competitor in this file. The Gazzetta dello Sport reveals that theAS Roma of Jose Mourinho would be very interested in Éric Bailly.
Eric Bailly, a priority target for AS Roma
The warrior character of the Manchester United defender would be strongly interested in the Special One. According to the source, the AS Roma coach has even made the Ivorian one of his priority targets for his next transfer window. Which complicates OM’s plans a little more. Especially since Jose Mourinho know well Eric Bailly. It was he who had him at Manchester United in July 2016. The Portuguese technician would now like to have him under his command in Serie A. For that, you will have to take out the checkbook. The market value of Éric Bailly is estimated at around 8 million euros according to Transfer market. But this stiff competition should raise the stakes, especially since the Sevilla FC would also be on his trail.
