Bouna Sarr to Train With FC Metz on Trial After 16 Months Without a Club

The former Bayern right-back could earn a short-term return if he proves his fitness for a side fighting to escape the drop.

Overview

  • L’Équipe reports the 33-year-old will join Metz’s training from Tuesday on a trial basis after a long injury layoff.
  • No contract has been agreed, with Metz set to decide once Sarr’s fitness and readiness are evaluated.
  • Sarr’s Bayern stint ended in summer 2024 after just 33 appearances, including a cruciate ligament rupture suffered in November 2023.
  • His last competitive match was on 11 November 2023, and he previously moved from Marseille to Bayern in October 2020 for about €8 million.
  • Metz sit 17th in Ligue 1 after 11 matchdays and are seeking reinforcements, having recently re-signed former striker Habib Diallo; reports say Sarr had even weighed retirement in October.
