Bailly is available this summer with Manchester United set for a major summer re-build under new boss Erik ten Hag.

And according to the Daily Express, Bailly has been offered to Newcastle for a knock down price.

Newcastle's primary centre-back target is Sven Botman, who is valued by Ligue 1 side Lille at around £30m.
