Milan must start to put the foundations in place for next season despite the uncertainty surrounding the club. General Manager Adriano Galliani is already making his move and a name that is high on the list of targets is Ivorian defender Eric Bailly, of Villarreal.
 

Calciomercato.com has already stated that the 22-year-old would make an excellent addition to the rossoneri at a price that would be most favourable at around €10 million. Initial contact has already been made with the yellow submarine and the player himself has had an excellent season at El Madrigal since his transfer from Espanyol for €6 million in January.  

The rossoneri will lose at least three defenders this summer with Zapata, Mexes and Alex all set to depart. Bailly has the right credentials to strengthen a back-line that has still looked erratic at times this season. The Ivorian international would make a perfect partner for Alessio Romagnoli as he continues his own development at Milanello.
