AC Milan consider Bailly bid

AC Milan are weighing up a move for Manchester United defender Eric Bailly, according to the Mail Online.

The Serie A giants are ready to turn their attention to the Ivory Coast international after being put off by the price for Liverpool’s Dejan Lovren, who is valued at around £18m.

With just one year remaining on his current deal, Bailly could prove to be a more viable option, while he could be be set to be moved further down the pecking order at Old Trafford with the possible arrival of Harry Maguire.

The twenty-five-year-old arrived in England from Villareal in the summer of 2016, and played thirty-eight games in all competitions in his first season with the Red Devils.

However, he has been used more sparingly since, racking up eighteen appearances in each of the last two campaigns.

His one and only goal for Manchester United so far came in a 4-0 win at Swansea City back in August 2017.
