After a while struggling to find a new stop, center -back Eric Bailly – the first rookie of Jose Mourinho in MU now officially moved to the Real Oviewo Club in the summer transfer window 2025.
After 7 years of farewell, Eric Bailly reunited Villarreal at the end of 2023. Back to the Spanish team, the Ivory Coast Guard signed a contract with a term until June 2025.
However, after the 2024/25 season, Villarreal decided not to renew the contract with Eric Bailly because he only played 22 matches since joining the club. Therefore, Bailly was forced to leave the team on the form of free transfer.
At the end of last month, Eric Bailly reached an agreement to join Al Najmah Club (Saudi Arabia). However, this deal suddenly broke down at the last minute and Bailly had many difficulties to find a stop for himself before the summer transfer market 2025 closed.
After nearly a month of hard work, Bailly officially joined Real Oviewo. On the homepage, rookie La Liga 2025/26 confirmed signing a 2 -year contract with former MU defender
At Real Oviewo, Bailly will stand side by side with Santi Cazorla – former Arsenal and Villarreal players – who contributed greatly to help the Asturias team win the right to promote La Liga from Segunda Division last season. The appearance of the Bailly – Cazorla pair will be the fulcrum for the club to hope to succeed in La Liga.
Bailly's career has been quite cheating since leaving MU. In 2016, the 31 -year -old center -back joined the Red Devils from Villarreal for a fee of £ 30 million, becoming the first contract of coach Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford. Unfortunately, the injury has “destroyed” the strong center -back but played this very mind.
After 6 years of attachment, he was borrowed by MU to Marseille in 2022. In the past 2 years, Bailly has wore 3 different clubs. Due to his decline, he only played 25 matches in all competitions in the last 2 seasons.
