Villarreal is on the brink of securing a deal with Ivorian centre-back Eric Bailly, who is set to join the club as a free agent. The agreement for Bailly’s transfer has been reached, with the player being a key target for manager Marcelino.
Bailly is poised to fill the defensive gap left by M. Gabbia, who is expected to make a return to his parent club, AC Milan. Gabbia, an Italian defender, has been playing in Serie A and is now set to depart from Villarreal.
The contract with Bailly has been agreed upon, with only the final details pending before the official signing. An announcement of the completion of the transfer is anticipated shortly.
