Breaking news: as Manchester United star set to leave old trafford amid interest from ac milan ,what a defender we will lose !!!
Manchester United defender Eric Bailly
is reportedly open to the prospect of joining
Serie A giants AC Milan during the ongoing
transfer window. The Ivorian is believed
to have become frustrated with the lack
of playing time he has received at Old
Trafford this season.
According to Gianluca di Marzio, AC
Milan have received positive signs from
Bailly. Stefano Pioli's side have reportedly
prioritized the signing of a top-quality
defender during the January transfer window.
Bailly arrived at Old Trafford from Spanish
club Villarreal in the summer of 2016 in
a deal worth £30 million. He immediately
became a key member of the club's starting
line-up, making 38 appearances in all
competitions during his debut season.
However, recurring injuries have hampered
Bailly's progress at Manchester United. He
has made just 45 Premier League appearances
in his last four-and-a-half seasons with the
club. The defender is currently behind
the likes of Raphael Varane, Harry Maguire
and Victor Lindelof in the pecking order
at Manchester United.
Bailly is widely regarded as one of the
most talented defenders at Manchester United
due to the speed, strength, and tenacity
he possesses. However, the 27-year-old
has made just seven appearances for
Manchester United in all competitions
this season. Bailly is rumored to be eager
to join a club where he will be given the
chance to play regular first-team football.
The Ivorian would reportedly be happy
to join the Rossoneri if they came calling
during the ongoing transfer window. Milan
could look to initially sign Bailly on loan
for the rest of the season.
Pioli's side are currently sitting in second
-place in the Serie A table, one point behind
league leaders Inter Milan. They are reportedly
keen to bolster their squad this month
to improve their chances of mounting a
serious challenge for the Scudetto.
Manchester United are unlikely
to part ways with Eric Bailly amidst
interest from AC Milan
Manchester United have suffered multiple
injury issues in defense this season. The
Red Devils are currently without Harry Maguire
and Victor Lindelof while Raphael Varane
has also missed large swathes of the ongoing
campaign.
Varane is back now though and started
alongside veteran defender Phil Jones
in the club's 1-0 loss to Wolves in the Premier
League on January 3. Maguire, Lindelof
and Bailly were forced to miss the game
against Wolves due to injury. But
Lindelof returned for their 1-0 FA Cup
third-round win over Aston Villa.
The Red Devils are eager to challenge
for multiple trophies and a top-four finish
in the second half of the season. They
will therefore look to retain their squad's
strength in depth. Eric Bailly's physical
attributes and fearless approach to football
make him a massive asset for the Premier
League giants.
Rangnick's side are unlikely to entertain
offers for Bailly during the ongoing transfer
window despite the defender's apparent
willingness to join AC Milan.
Consequently, the Rossoneri could be forced
to switch their focus to alternate options.
Milan have been linked with a move for
Hellas Verona star Nicolo Casale and Lille
defender Sven Botman in recent weeks.
