Maccabi Tel Aviv Nears Deal for Winger Morgan Bailly
Maccabi Tel Aviv is reportedly making progress in its pursuit of Cameroonian winger Morgan Bailly, who remains a top transfer target. The Israeli club has already submitted an offer to Bailly, but negotiations have faced significant hurdles as the player has been hesitant about moving to Israel. French media outlet ICI has now reported that Bailly is on the verge of leaving his current club, FC Metz, and is "on his way to Israel," suggesting a major development in the transfer talks.
Bailly's absence from Metz's official team photo further fuels speculation about his imminent departure and his exclusion from the club's future plans. Maccabi Tel Aviv aims to leverage these recent developments to overcome the remaining obstacles and secure Bailly's signature before the current transfer window closes.
The club is actively trying to persuade the winger, who can play on either flank, to join their squad. The latest reports from France indicate a potential breakthrough, bringing Bailly closer to a move to the Israeli club.
