And despite Arsenal head coach Arsene Wenger having offered Sagna a two-year extension on his present deal, the 30-year-old has decided to rejected that new contract and leave the club.
Sagna already has a number of other more enticing options on the table from a whole host of clubs throughout the Continent, including the likes of Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich and Galatasaray.

And with Arsenal only offering the Frenchman a two-year contract on his same £60,000-per-week wage that he is earning now at the Emirates, the defender has made up his made to quit the club this summer.
