Chelsea defender Malang Sarr is on the verge of joining Monaco on loan with an option to buy but the club are pushing to bring in one more centre-back.
A number of players are being assessed at the moment and the club are considering options on their table.
And according to French sports daily L’Equipe, Bailly is the defender Monaco want before the end of the window.
They want to secure the right side of their defence by bringing in the Ivorian and Monaco also admire the Manchester United defender’s versatility.
However, there are several obstacles that Monaco would have to overcome if they want to sign him.
Monaco are likely to have to deal with serious competition for him as Fulham, Roma and Sevilla are also interested in the centre-back.
Manchester United would prefer to sell him, but Monaco are only considering signing him on a simple loan deal.
