The French International has joined Premier League Champions on a free transfer from Arsenal, Machester City confirms.

City have confirmed the 31-year-old as their first major addition to manager Manuel Pellegrini’s Premier League title-winning squad.

Sagna, who will join the Blues after the Brazil World Cup, posted a farewell message to the Gunners on social media.
He has already been handed the same number three shirt he had at Arsenal, last worn at City by former Brazilian defender Maicon.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger paid Auxerre £7m for Sagna in July 2007.
He went on to make 284 appearances for the north London outfit and was twice voted into the PFA Premier League team of the year.

However, he did not win a trophy until last month, when he featured in the 3-2 FA Cup final victory over Hull at Wembley.
“Everyone at Arsenal Football Club would like to thank Bacary for his fantastic contribution and wish him all the best for the future,” said a club statement.

Sagna becomes the fifth player to leave Arsenal for City in recent times, following on from Emmanuel Adebayor, Kolo Toure, Gael Clichy and Samir Nasri.

Bacary Sagna was expected to renew his contract in January but as at May talks begin to pan towards leaving the Gunners.

Arsene Wenger can now have every audacity to purchase Athletico’s Juan Fran to move to the Emirates for a right-back position.

Sagna will join the blues at some point after the World Cup and this would set a competition with South-American, Pablo Zabaleta.
