Bacary Sagna could be on his way struggling Serie A outfit BeneventoAFP or licensors
Now France international Sagna is in talks with Serie A newcomers Benevento, who are bottom of the table and 11 points adrift of safety.
Reports in Italy claim the 34-year-old is due to have a medical with the Campania club in the next few days.
Benevento set a record by losing their opening 14 league games before drawing 2-2 with AC Milan last month – thanks to an injury-time header from their goalkeeper!
They finally won at the 19th attempt, beating Chievo 1-0, but Roberto De Zerbi’s side still face a huge task to survive.

The right-back won the 2014 FA Cup with Arsenal, and the League Cup with City two years later.
