Eric Bailly is set to turn down a reunion with Jose Mourinho in favour of a switch to Sevilla, it has been reported.
The defender, 28, has fallen out of favour at Manchester United and with the club having acquired Lisandro Martinez this summer he has seen his stock fall even further in the pecking order.
The Sun now report that the defender is in talks Sevilla with the Spanish club in talks over his signature having beaten off competition from Roma.
Mourinho, who brought Bailly to Old Trafford in 2016, might have hoped that would make Bailly moving to Roma more likely but he is said to favour a move to southern Spain.
