Bacary Sagna

Bacary Sagna - Classy Footballer

Former Arsenal and Manchester City full-back Bacary Sagna has been linked with a proposed return to Ligue 1 with Marseille this summer.

The 34-year-old is a free agent following his release from the Etihad earlier in the month. The France international left former club Arsenal on a free transfer in 2014 to achieve more success, but he was restricted to just one trophy in the EFL Cup during his three year stint at Manchester City. In comparison to this, Arsenal have lifted a couple more FA Cup titles while also winning two Community Shields in the process.

There are rumours that Pep Guardiola is interested in brining one of his former students at the Nou Camp to England as he strategizes for a Premier League title victory this forthcoming season.

The matured Andres Iniesta is a crucial part of the Barcelona team, aside being the skipper. Would the Spaniard leave at the twilight of his career? At the start of a new dawn under Coach Ernesto Valverde? While bringing his legendary at the Catalan club to question?

Bacary Sagna´s contract with Manchester City reached it´s end in the beginning of June and the English Premier League club did not offer the French defender a contract extension which means that Sagna has now turned into a free agent.

After having performed with the Manchester City jersey for 3 years, BacarySagna has cut his ties at the Etihad Stadium and the Frenchman said:

Crystal Palace are reportedly looking to make the most out of players like Bacary Sagna and Gael Clichy being available on a free transfer in the summer.

Manchester City are set to undergo wholesale changes – especially at the back – with a number of players leaving the club in the summer after the end of the contracts. Bacary Sagna, Gael Clichy, Pablo Zabaleta, and Yaya Toure could be the names on the verge of an exit from the club. Clichy and Sagna appear to interest Sam Allardyce, who has always been a manager with an eye for older players.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is as good as Sir Alex Ferguson, according to the club’s former defender Bacary Sagna.

There has been a lot of pressure on Wenger in the last few months. The Frenchman has been asked to resign on a number of occasions by the club supporters, who have even unfolded banners against the manager even at the Emirates stadium. As the resistance against Wenger continues to grow, he has received support from various quarters, including one of his former players. Sagna played for Arsenal for several years before making the switch to Manchester City a couple of years ago.

Bacary Sagna says that there have been problems with regard to communication in the Manchester City defence.

Since Pep Guardiola took over in the summer, defence has not been one of the strong points of Manchester City. It has led to the club slipping down from the title race. A goalless draw with Stoke City saw the club all 10 points behind Chelsea having played the same number of games. It is turning out into a disappointing campaign for the club. One of the players expected to depart the Etihad stadium in the summer is Sagna.

Premier League side West Ham United reportedly want to bid for Bacary Sagna this summer as they hope to add more experienced players to their squad. There are several reports that Slaven Bilic wants to get Sagna and another Man City star Pablo Zabaleta as right backa Sam Byram and Alvaro Arbeloa continue to struggle.

Pep Guardiola will most likely not renew the deals of Sagna and Zabaleta as their contracts lapse this summer, meaning Bilic could get the players on a free transfer.

Bacary Sagna’s club coach Pep Guardiola is not a big fan of Footballers having personal aspirations of winning this particular award or that particular award.

The Spaniard reckons that the aspirations of a Footballer should always be from the team’s point of view and not from his own point of view because if he achieves something for himself while his team is struggling, that’s of no importance at all.

West Ham United have reportedly identified Manchester City defender Bacary Sagna as a potential signing in the coming transfer window.

Sagna is one of the player’s likely to leave City at the end of the season. The Frenchman came to English football with Arsenal in the 2007 season. He was signed for just € 9 million. After spending seven seasons at the Emirates stadium, he made the switch to City on a free transfer. Since then, he has been able to win the FA Cup and the League Cup. Sagna has featured in 77 games for City over the last three years.

On January 2 of 2017, Manchester City locked horns with Burnley in a match that resulted with the team of Pep Guardiola just barely being able to secure a 2-1 triumph as they continue their charge for the top spots of the Premier League.

Even though Manchester City came out on top with the victory and snatched all 3 points which was a very good outcome for the Premier League club, BacarySagna felt that the referee was working in favor of Burnley and the 33 year old French defender made his voice be heard as Sagna launched a message through his instagram which read: "10 against 12.. but still fighting and winning as a team''
