More than 7 years after leaving Villarreal for Manchester United, Éric Bailly returns to the fold. As we announced to you in recent days on our site, the Ivorian international had terminated his contract with Besiktas, before returning to the Spanish club which had made his reputation at the time. This Saturday, the Yellow Submarine formalized the return of its player.

“He is back”, laconically posted the club on its X account. For a month and a half, the Ivorian has only participated in one meeting. A lack of continuity which logically saw him removed from Jean-Louis Gasset’s list for the CAN at home (January 13 to February 11, 2024). At 13th in Liga, Bailly (29) will have the opportunity to breathe new life into his career.
