Last season, OM tried to relaunch Eric Bailly on loan from Manchester United. The Ivorian international, solid during the first months, ended up disappearing due to his repeated injuries and a big suspension after the winter break. So at the end of the season, unsurprisingly, OM decided not to exercise the option to buy the player who announced his departure after a short season and 23 matches.
But now, at the end of the transfer window, an improbable news resurfaces. According to information from Sky Sports, looking for a central defender, OM decided to reactivate the Eric Bailly track. Marseille are trying to bring him back and an offer should be made in the coming days to buy out the last year of the 29-year-old’s contract, which is not part of Erik ten Hag’s plans.
