Bordeaux have reached an agreement for the transfer of Milan striker Jeremy Menez, subject to a medical.

The 29-year-old France international is on the verge of returning to Ligue 1, where he has spent the majority of his 12 years in professional football after beginning his career with Sochaux in 2004.

A statement on the six-time French champions’ official website read: “FC Girondins de Bordeaux have made an agreement with AC Milan for the transfer of Jeremy Menez.

“Subject to a medical examination, the French international will commit to the Girondins before being presented to the press on Monday (today) at the Chateau du Haillan.”

Menez, who has 24 international caps to his name, also lists Monaco, Roma and reigning French champions Paris St Germain among his former clubs before he moved back to Serie A with Milan two years ago.

Meanwhile, the Rossoneri have already started looking to bring in a replacement for the French midfielder and reports said that they are locked in a battle with Fiorentina for Adnan Januzaj, of Manchester United.

The Belgian winger spent six months on loan at Borussia Dortmund last season, but made just 12 appearances and was sent back in January.

Reports in Britain suggest that the 21-year-old has been told he can leave on loan, but he would prefer a permanent transfer.

Both Milan and Fiorentina are interested in bringing Januzaj to Italy, but he also has options in England.

Chief among those would be Sunderland, whose manager David Moyes gave Januzaj his United debut during his spell at Old Trafford.
