Manchester United: Eric Bailly courted in Saudi Arabia

Loaned last season to Olympique de Marseille, with whom he will only play 17 Ligue 1 games, Eric Bailly has since returned to Manchester United. But for a long time. Indeed, the experienced central defender has officially joined a large Turkish team.

This Tuesday, Besiktas communicated the signing of the 29-year-old Ivorian for a permanent transfer from the Red Devils. “We wish Eric Bailly, who we believe will be of great service to our club, great success with our glorious jersey, and will present it to the public with our respect”, can we read on the official account of the Turkish club. A nice addition, provided the former Olympian isn’t too bothered by the physical glitches.
