Eric Bailly has been connected with a move away from Old Trafford. AC Milan is interested in buying Bailly from Manchester United during the January transfer window to add a new centre-back.
Former Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho brought Eric Bailly to the club in 2016. Many fans thought the team had recruited a tremendous possibility when the Ivorian centre-back was one of the most promising defenders at the time. However, the 27-year-old has been sidelined by several significant ailments at the club, limiting his playing opportunities.
Many expected Bailly to quit the club in the summer following Raphael Varane, and he has opted to stay at the club this season and compete for a starting berth. Ralf Rangnick’s 4th choice centre-back is Bailly, who is currently lower down the pecking order at Manchester United. As a result, Bailly has received insufficient playing time this season.
United could consider a loan deal for Eric Bailly until the end of the season, while AC Milan has expressed interest in the Ivorian. Both clubs are said to be in talks, according to reports. United are demanding that AC Milan pay Bailly’s full salary for the remainder of the season, and the Italian giants may agree.
Milan needs a defender after losing Simon Kjaer and Fikayo Tomori to injury this winter transfer window. Bailly might push for a move to receive more game time for the remainder of the season.
Sule has 158 appearances for Bayern Munich and has previously been a key player. However, the 26-year-old hasn’t seen much action recently.
Sule could be pondering his future with Bayern Munich as the 2022 World Cup approaches and deciding to move to a club where he can play regular first-team games.
