Arsenal Transfer News: Sagna Not Ruling Out PSG or Monaco Move; Rosicky Plans to Stay at the Emirates

Bacary Sagna is keeping his options open over his future, while Tomas Rosicky insists he has no plans of leaving Arsenal in the summer.

Sagna has been widely tipped to quit Arsenal once the transfer window officially opens in July, with the French international only having one more year remaining on his contract.

Negotiations over a new deal have reportedly not gone too well and the 30-year-old has been heavily linked with moves to Paris Saint Germain and Monaco.

Sagna revealed talks over a new contract are still going on, even if there has not been any conclusion.

"I am under contract until 2014," he told L'Equipe. "Yes, there are talks (to extend) but they have not prolonged too far. I am in talks. I am not at a bad club."

The right-back, who signed for Arsenal from Auxerre in 2007, however, did not rule out a move to France. "It is possible," he added. "I would have to see in what conditions and what would be proposed on a sporting level.

"I would not leave for anything. I don't reject anything.

"If I am staying at Arsenal, I will try to achieve a good season, there is a World Cup at the end of it. If I should have to leave, it will be a new challenge."

Meanwhile, another veteran Rosicky, who also only has a year remaining on his contract, is confident he will be an Arsenal player come next season.

Rosicky has been linked with a move to his first senior club Sparta Prague, but the Czech international, who was instrumental in helping Arsenal seal a Champions League spot in the final few months, sees his immediate future at the Emirates.

"After the season I spoke with the coach and Arsenal want me to stay," he told fotbal.idnes.cz. "Of course, you never know what can happen, but I should be staying.

"A return to Sparta Prague? No, not yet.

"I have one year left on my contract and know nothing about me not staying. The coach has told me he counts on me."

Rosicky is also confident Arsenal can hold onto their key players in the summer, while backing Arsene Wenger to strengthen the side in the transfer market.

"Looking back at how badly we started, we have to be satisfied," he added. "We were chasing it at the 11th hour. Naturally, we all would prefer to have finished higher, but it's good that we have salvaged at least the fourth spot.

"The league table does not lie. As it is, I think it's fair. We are a club which loses one or two important players each summer, so we have to replace someone each time and that's always difficult.

"It seems as if nobody is leaving and, on the other hand, that some players could join Arsenal. It would help us a lot."
