Bacary Sagna insists he's not joining Man City for money[GETTY]
The 31-year-old has already signed terms on a three-year deal with the Premier League champions and he will formally move to the Etihad once his contract with the Gunners expires at the end of the month.
Though Arsenal have lost the likes of Samir Nasri and Gael Clichy to the Citizens in recent years, Sagna maintains his move is not motivated by money.
"I'm going to clear everything up because I keep reading that I did for money and I'm greedy," Sagna said.
"What I want to say is I stayed with Arsenal with the same contract since 2008 and I never asked for more money.
