Eric Bailly nears Manchester United move according to reports

A couple of days ago, several sports outlets were claiming that Eric Bailly had left the Ivory Coast training camp that was set to play Gabon the next day in order to secure a move away from Villarreal. Today, some of the Spanish sports journals such Diario AS, Marca, Mundo Deportivo, claim that Eric Bailly is close to seal a move to Manchester United.

Manchester United are reportedly willing to pay 30 million for the services of Eric Bailly. Villarreal signed Bailly from RCD Espanyol on January of last year for a sum of 5.5 million. Bailly's possible transfer will signify another great financial success for the Yellow Submarine.

United will not be triggering Bailly's buyout clause, but the sum of the transfer will be very close to the clause and will be including different payments as incentive bonuses.
