Bailly believes he’s cursed

Former Manchester United player Eric Bailly has said he has fallen victim of sickening threats by an agent claiming he has put a curse on him.

According to The Mirror, however, his time at Besiktas kicked off on a sour note as an agent claiming he helped complete the centre-back’s move to Istanbul has accused him of owing him money.

The Ivory Coast international’s camp said that the unnamed abuser has sent him dozens of disturbing messages on WhatsApp.

Bailly is officially represented by his uncle Severin Bohui, who is a fully licensed agent, and is adamant the person abusing his nephew was in no way involved in the deal with the Turkish giants.

Bohui told The Mirror: “He’s not stopped sending him threats, messages and blackmails.

“He is insinuating Eric owes him some money, because he was part of the people who brokered his move to Besiktas. Therefore Eric should pay him some money.

“I asked Eric if he signed any intermediation contract with this guy, he said no.

“I also asked the club if they knew this guy or if they asked him to speak to Eric on their behalf, they also said no. Same old story of agents trying to barge in deals.

“One thing is for sure this guy has not stopped harassing Eric. He even sent him a message today after their defeat to Fenerbahce.

“He’s threatening to send people out to him so I don’t think blocking him will solve the problem. This is more of a security issue than a Fifa one.”
