Negotiations between OM and Eric Bailly were canceled on Monday and the Ivorian international player could even join Marseille in the next 24 hours.
While the file seemed to be bogged down for a few days, and while his teammates at Manchester United provided at the end of Liverpool, Eric Bailly took him one step closer to Olympique de Marseille and Ligue 1. According to Fabrizio Romano, Pablo Longoria is about to seal the signing of the Mancunian central defender in the form of a loan with an option to buy which will become mandatory if OM qualify for the Champions League at the end of the season. Marseille had already obtained an agreement with the leaders of Manchester United, but it stuck with the player, determined to defend his financial interests while he still has two years of contract with the English club where Erik ten Hag no longer wants him. The Italian journalist, specialist in the transfer window, specifies that a few small details must still be finalized, but that Eric Bailly could arrive on Tuesday in the Marseille city.
