According to British media reports, former Manchester United player Bailly has been threatened by his former agent after his transfer to Besiktas, and the player is overwhelmed and has entrusted the club to the police.
Eric Bailly joined Besiktas on a free transfer in September and the Ivory Coast defender has made five appearances for the club, starting all of them. However, Bailly's agent has been sending various threats and curses to Bailly, saying that Bailly owes his agent the commission for his successful transfer. In last week's Turkish Super League fixture, Besiktas lost 3-1 at home to Fenerbahce, with Eric Bailly awarded a penalty for a handball. The agent also made a mockery to Bailly after the game: "I'm glad to see what my curse has done to you. You're not a man, you're a Mickey Mouse. ”
It was just one of dozens of messages, and the agent threatened to send someone to Bailly. Eric Bailly has reported the incident to Besiktas and the club have called the police.
Bailly said that his move to Besiktas was done entirely by his uncle Bo Hui and had nothing to do with the agent who sent the threatening message. Regarding the situation, Bailly's uncle Bohui said: "I asked Bailly if he had any intermediary contracts with this person and he said no. I also asked the club if they knew the person or if they asked him to speak to Eric on behalf of the club and they also said no. Same old story of outsiders trying to break into the deal. One thing is for sure, this guy didn't stop harassing Bailly. He even sent him a message today after Besiktas's loss to Fenerbahce. He threatened to send someone to him, so I don't think stopping him will solve the problem. It's not so much a FIFA issue as a security issue. ”
