Bouna Sarr has been training with FC Metz since the beginning of November. A signing with the club had been mentioned, contingent on the right-back showing a satisfactory physical condition. An official return with his formative club, which he left ten years ago, is considered likely because coach Stéphane Le Mignan included Sarr in a squad for a friendly match against Seraing.

According to L'Equipe, Bouna Sarr will begin training with his former club Metz on Tuesday. Sarr has been without a club since his contract with Bayern Munich ended in 2024. The Lorraine club could offer him a contract if his physical condition is deemed satisfactory, a significant consideration due to a period marked by injuries, including a cruciate ligament rupture in late 2023. For Metz, this is viewed as an inexpensive opportunity to strengthen their squad, particularly with the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations expected to leave them without some players.
