Arsenal defender Bacary Sagna is set to leave the club this Summer, and according to reports, Premier League champions Manchester City, are willing to offer him £150k-a-week to join them.
The Frenchman is out of contract at the end of this season, and after rejecting three extensions already from Arsenal, it appears that a move away is likely for one of the club’s longest serving players.
Earlier this month it was reported that Sagna felt disrespected by the club after the loyalty he should them through their nine-year trophy drought, which ended at the weekend, and he even hinted that a move away is likely.
However, after admitting that his decision is yet to be made, Arsene Wenger and the board are desperate to keep hold of the 31-year-old, but will not be willing to match what City will offer.
Arsenal have offered Sagna a two-year-deal worth around £75k-a-week, whilst City are preparing to offer him double that at £150k-a-week for three years.
Sagna would be the fourth player in recent times to leave Arsenal for City, following in; Gael Clichy’s, Samir Nasri’s and Emmanuel Adebayor’s footsteps.
