Getty Images SportTHE BIGGER PICTURE
Bailly gained immense popularity after his move to Manchester United back in 2016. Under the mentorship of Jose Mourinho, he, along with his teammates, lifted the Europa League, United's only continental trophy in the last 10 years. In 2023, he joined Besiktas and the following year signed for Villarreal in La Liga. His contract expired at the end of the season, and now he is set to sign for newly promoted La Liga side Oviedo, who finished third in Segunda Division last term.

Bailly will join training at Oviedo after his medicals and will be expected to feature for them in the upcoming La Liga games, especially the one against Real Madrid on August 24.
