Africa-Press – Tanzania. <\/strong><\/span>Spain’s Villarreal have reached an agreement with Ivorian defender Eric Bailly on a free transfer until June 30, 2025.<\/p>\n

“The Submarine\u2019s new signing has passed his medical examinations and will train alongside his team-mates tomorrow (Sunday) at 11:30am CET at the Jose\u0301 Manuel Llaneza Training Ground,” the Spanish club said in a statement on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Bailly produced one goal and one assist in 47 matches for Villarreal during the 2015-16 season.<\/p>\n

He was also an important part of the Spanish team that advanced to the semifinals of the UEFA Europa League in the 2014\/15 season.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old helped Manchester United win the 2017 Europa League title.<\/p>\n

He left Turkish club Besiktas after just three months after having his contract terminated this month due to poor performance.\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b<\/p>\n
