Arsenal right-back Bacary Sagna has
confirmed that he will leave the club "for
sure" at the end of his contract this
summer.
As revealed by Goal, the Frenchman had
already told the club on May 12 that he
would exit the Emirates Stadium and he has
since opened formal talks with Manchester
City.
Goal understands that the
Gunners are considering both
Atletico Madrid full-back
Juanfran and Toulouse's Serge
Aurier as possible new
additions to compete with Carl
Jenkinson for Sagna's place.
"It's no longer a secret, I will
leave Arsenal for sure," Sagna
told L'Equipe.
"They tried to make an effort
but the discussions have not
gone in the direction I wished
it.
"There are a lot of calls, a lot of
speculation. Frankly, it gives
headaches. I'll sort it all out
before the start of the World
Cup."
The full-back was officially approached by City the day after he helped Arsenal
end their nine-year trophy drought by winning the FA Cup final.
Sagna spent seven years in north London, having joined from Auxerre in
2007.
