Eric Bailly, a central defender from Villarreal, has been one of the players with the most presence at the beginning of this season under the command of Marcelino García Toral. However, despite having played many minutes, the Spanish coach has already singled him out as one of the main team's discards. At 30 years old, Bailly seems to have lost the trust of the coach, who is not satisfied with his performance on the field, although he continues to use him due to the lack of defensive alternatives in the squad.

Eric Bailly, singled out at Villarreal

The central defender, who returned to Villarreal after his time at other European clubs, has not managed to establish himself as a key piece in Marcelino's system. Despite his experience and physical abilities, his performances have been disappointing in the yellow defense, raising concerns within the coaching staff. Marcelino has made it clear that unless there is a notable improvement, he does not see Bailly as part of the team's long-term future, especially with his contract ending in June.

With the lack of defensive reinforcements, Bailly has remained a starter in several matches, although his performance has not convinced either the coach or the fans. The inconsistency in his play and some errors in key moments have increased doubts about his continuity. Marcelino has chosen to keep him in the starting eleven out of sheer necessity, but the player's contractual situation indicates his imminent departure from the club, and work is already underway to find alternatives for the next season.

Everything indicates that the African center-back will not renew his contract with Villarreal once this season ends. As the team seeks solutions to reinforce their defense, Bailly seems poised to bid farewell to the "groguet" entity at the end of his contract, thus closing a chapter that has not lived up to the initial expectations.
