AC Milan working on loan deal for Eric Bailly

AC Milan are working on a loan deal for Eric Bailly, according to Tuttomercatoweb. The Ivorian has struggled for game time with Manchester United this season. Bailly has dropped further down the pecking order since the arrival of interim manager Raphael Varane last year.

The Rossoneri have now offered him a chance to play regular football. The Serie A giants want an option to buy in the loan deal. However, it’s not clear whether the Red Devils are willing to grant their wish.

Newcastle United offer £3 million for Jesse Lingard

Newcastle United are ready to offer £3 million for Jesse Lingard, according to Daily Star.

The Englishman is in the final few months of his contract with United. The Red Devils want him to stay, and have even offered to renew his contract. However, the 29-year-old is disillusioned with the lack of chances at Old Trafford, and wants to move in search of regular football.

West Ham United are interested in his services, but face competition from Newcastle United. The Magpies are desperate to stave off relegation, and are looking to land Lingard to help them stay afloat.
