Eric Bay signs contract with Real Oviedo

Former "Manchester United" footballer Eric Bailly is close to joining the "Real Oviedo" club. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

According to renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano, the new La Liga participant has reached an agreement with the Ivorian footballer. On Monday, the 31-year-old central defender will undergo a medical examination.

Earlier, although Eric Bailly had reached a verbal agreement with a Saudi club, he rejected that offer. The footballer became a free agent from "Villarreal" in July.

Before coming to Spain, he played for Turkey's "Besiktas" and England's "Manchester United" teams. "Real Oviedo" returned to La Liga after a 24-year break.

The team lost 0-2 away to "Villarreal" in the first round of the season. A new chapter is opening for "Real Oviedo" this season, and the club is striving to improve its performance further.
