Former Manchester United’s defender Eric Bailly whose contract was terminated by Besiktas recently with mutual consent is on the verge of signing for Villarreal.
Former Manchester United defender Eric Bailly is all set to make a swift return to La Liga, as reports suggest that he is on the verge of signing for Villarreal. The Ivorian international recently parted ways with Turkish club Besiktas, with both parties mutually agreeing to terminate his contract.
Bailly, known for his commanding presence and defense, spent four seasons at Old Trafford after joining Manchester United from Villarreal in 2016. Despite showing glimpses of his talent, injuries and competition for a starting spot limited his playing time with the Red Devils.
The decision to terminate his contract with Besiktas has paved the way for the center-back to reunite with Villarreal, where he previously impressed before making the move to the English Premier League. Negotiations between Bailly and Villarreal are reportedly in the final stages, with both parties eager to reach an agreement.
