Mourinho wants Bailly to be with him at Roma

Nemanja Matic and Jose Mourinho being reunited became a reality a month ago. Roma announced the signing of the 33 year-old Serbian midfielder, who arrived as a free agent after his contract at Man Utd expired. 

The Portuguese coach's list did not end there as he wants another Man Utd footballer ahead of next season. According to 'The Mirror', the Roma manager requested the signing of Eric Bailly this summer. 

The same media outlet says that the English side are not willing to let the Ivorian defender go for a figure lower than 10 million pounds. In the meantime, Roma are studying scenarios to be able to reduce the price of the 28 year-old defender. 

Bailly's contract expires in 2024 and last season, he hardly played in Manchester. He made just seven competitive appearances for the Premier League outfit.
