GettyTHE BIGGER PICTURE
Bailey is said to be attracting admiring glances from some of Europe’s biggest clubs and has made no secret of his desire to grace the Champions League stage. Such a platform would give him a chance to follow in the footsteps of all-time greats who are approaching the end of their remarkable playing careers.
Getty/GOALWHAT NEXT FOR BAILEY?
Bailey is tied to a contract at Villa through to 2027, with that deal including the option for a further 12-month extension. The likes of Erling Haaland, Jude Bellingham and Jamal Musiala have been billed as the most logical successors to Messi and Ronaldo, as they prepare to pass on the ‘best in the world’ crown, but Bailey could put himself in that conversation if consistency can be maintained while remaining on an upward professional curve.
