Bacary Sagna, whose contract with Arsenal expires in June, is reportedly in negotiations with the club for a contract extension. However, there seems to be a significant gap between Sagna’s salary demands and what Arsenal is willing to offer. The French international is seeking a substantial increase in his salary, with reports suggesting he desires around £7 million per season for a three to four year contract, along with a signing bonus of around €7 million.
According to sources close to Sagna, unless Arsenal significantly improves their offer, he is likely to leave the club. This situation presents a challenge for Arsenal, especially considering Sagna’s age, as he is currently 31 years old. It remains to be seen whether Arsenal will meet Sagna’s demands or if he will indeed depart the club at the end of his contract.
