France international Bacary Sagna could make an instant return to the Premier League with Crystal Palace among the main admirers for his services.

The 34-year-old is a free agent following his release from Manchester City earlier in May, and he is now on the lookout for a potential club, where he could extend his professional career.

Sagna left Arsenal for Manchester City on a free following their FA Cup triumph back in 2014 as he is believed that the Citizens would be his stepping stone to further success. However, the right-back did not find much to celebrate about during his three seasons at the Etihad as he won just the League Cup – when compared to the Gunners, who have lifted two more FA Cup titles during the period.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has decided to make a major reshuffling of his full-back positions ahead of the new campaign, and this has seen the likes of Sagna, Pablo Zabaleta, Gael Clichy and most recently Aleksandar Kolarov leave the Etihad. Nevertheless, the club have managed to strengthen the positions at a price with Kyle Walker, Danilo and Benjamin Mendy arriving for a combined fee in excess of £130m.

According to The Mail, the experienced defender could get a new lease of life in England with Crystal Palace keen on adding him to their ranks. However, the Eagles are likely to face competition from West Bromwich Albion, who are also monitoring his developments. A move to Marseille is another option in Sagna’s hands but he could wait upon suitable offers from the Premier League first.

Sagna has made a total of 267 appearances during his ten-year stint in the Premier League with both Arsenal and Manchester City. He has already remained a France regular during this period with 65 caps, but latest exit could well spell an end to his international prospects ahead of the World Cup finals in Russia next year.

BacarySagna ended his 3 year long relationship with Manchester City on June 30 of the ongoing year as his contract with the English Premier League outfit expired and now the future of the French defender is up in the air.

Even though Sagna is 34 years old, the experienced player is still attracting the attention of many clubs from all over the world and there are 2 clubs in specific that are rumored to be very interested in securing the services of BacarySagna and these clubs are Galatasaray along with Marseille.

Even though Sagna is 34 years old, the experienced player is still attracting the attention of many clubs from all over the world and there are 2 clubs in specific that are rumored to be very interested in securing the services of BacarySagna and these clubs are Galatasaray along with Marseille.

However, it´s believed that a possible transfer to the French outfit Marseille could be cut off by the salary demands of BacarySagna which are too much for the French club to pay on a player who is considered to be on the senior side.

SabriSarıoğlu is a 32 year old right-back who recently saw his contract with Galatasaray reach it´s end and if rumors are to be believed, BacarySagna is being viewed as the player that can replace SabriSarıoğlu and fill in the gap that was left by him.

Whether or not these are rumors are indeed true is something that remains to be seen and considering that the 2017 edition of the summer transfer window has already kicked off, it probably will not be too long before a transfer is indeed completed or not.

There is even a chance that another club could come in and make a quick swoop for the veteran defender who has been competing with the Arsenal jersey for 7 years before making a switch to Manchester City where he spent 3 seasons and has now turned into a free agent.

All of that experience of playing in those top Premier League clubs can certainly lure the attention of other potential clubs who are in need of a defensive summer reinforcement.
