Benevento are reportedly trying to thrash out a deal for ex-Arsenal and Manchester City full-back Bacary Sagna.

According to Il Mattino, Benevento are not giving up on Sagna, who has made no secret of his desire to play in Italy, despite a deal seeming protracted.

The 34-year-old has been a free agent since leaving City last summer, while he has represented France on 65 occasions.

The newspaper adds former Roma stopper Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa is also a target, having fallen out of favour at Olympique Lyonnais.

Other names on their deadline-day shortlist would include Genoa’s Santiago Gentiletti and Real Betis’ Alin Tosca.
