Eric Bailly agrees terms with Besiktas
Bailly is set to become the second former Premier League star to join The Black Eagles this week after it was revealed ex-Liverpool midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was in Istanbul to finalize a move on a free transfer on Tuesday.
Bailly will earn just under $2.5m a year at Besiktas with an announcement of his move set to be made in the next few days. Bailly spent last season on loan at French giants Marseille but inconsistent performances for OM meant his loan switch was not turned into a permanent one this summer.
