With it clear that Manchester United are looking for at least one new centre-back, someone at Old Trafford will have to make way.
There might even be more than one exit in the position this summer, with both Phil Jones and Eric Bailly the likeliest to be sacrificed to create room for a new arrival.
While the Englishman’s next move remains a mystery, there appears to be some interest in the Ivory Coast international, who is ‘officially available for €10-12m’.
That’s according to French journalist Ignazio Genuardi, who makes it clear Manchester United ‘no longer count on him’.
Lie jusqu’en 2024 avec Man Utd, #Bailly est officiellement disponible pour 10-12 M€. Alors que les Red Devils ne comptent plus sur lui, l’international ivoirien a notamment été évoqué du côté de #Marseille et de #Lyon au cours des dernières semaines. #Mercato #OM #OL

Over in France, both Marseille and Lyon have talked about the idea of signing the player ‘over the past few weeks’, but it remains to be seen whether they actually make a move.
That being said, it’s an affordable price even by Ligue 1 standards, and it appears Manchester United are relatively keen to get rid of a player who still has two years left on his contract.
