LONDON. — Arsenal are preparing a third contract offer for key defender Bacary Sagna in hope of finally persuading him to stay.
The right-back is out of contract in the summer and is free to discuss a potential Bosman move abroad.Sagna has already turned down two contract offers from the Gunners – one a 12 month extension on the same £60 000-per-week salary and a two year deal, again on the same money.
Sportsmail understands that Sagna wants at least a three-year deal to consider staying. He would also want a considerable pay increase.
The Gunners have always shown a reluctance to offer players over 30 long-term deals, nevertheless Sagna is determined to seek the best contract possible, knowing the next one could well be has last big pay-day. — Mailonline.
