Bouna Sarr’s journey back to his childhood club, FC Metz, has been lengthy. After joining Bayern Munich in 2020, his time there was marred by injuries, resulting in just 16 appearances during his four-year contract before he departed as a free agent in 2024.
Having spent a year and a half without a club, Sarr has been training with Metz since November, as reported by L’Équipe. He aims to return to Ligue 1 and assist the team that provided him with his professional debut in their fight to escape the relegation zone.

While Sarr is not anticipated to start against Lille OSC, who are still in search of their first league win of 2026, he is likely to come off the bench for his second debut with Metz, 15 years after he first stepped onto the pitch with Les Grenats.
