Eric Bailly set to reject chance to join Roma despite falling out of favour at Man United. Here is why
Eric Bailly is set to reject a reunion with Jose Mourinho at Roma despite falling out of favour at Manchester United.
According to Daily Mail, Bailly instead prefers a move to La Liga side Sevilla.
The defender, 28, has fallen even further out of favour at Old Trafford after the Red Devils bought Lisandro Martinez from Ajax this summer.
Bailly forms part of a three-man shortlist for Sevilla to improve their backline, with Paris Saint Germain’s Thilo Kehrer also representing an option.
Jose Mourinho signed Bailly during his time as Manchester United boss but the Ivory Coast international prefers a return to the La Liga to join Sevilla.
Bailly, who has made 113 appearances for the club since his arrival in 2016, has seen his time at the club blighted by various injury troubles.
Since his debut season, the defender has not made more than 20 Premier League appearances in any of the following seasons.
