Manchester United are prepared to payoff Eric Bailly's final year of his contract.
Bailly has no future at United, having spent last season on-loan with Olympique Marseille.
Marseille have passed on taking up the permanent option in the deal.
AS says United may cut their losses by just letting Bailly go.
Real Betis are keen on the the former Villarreal stopper, but will only take him on a free transfer.
