France international Jeremy Menez is set to join Bordeaux from Italian giants AC Milan, pending a medcial, the Ligue 1 club announced on Sunday.
Menez would be Bordeaux’s third signing ahead of the new season following the arrivals of veteran midfielder Jeremy Toulalan and Guinea striker Francois Kamano.
The 29-year-old spent the past two seasons in Italy after joining Milan from Paris Saint-Germain, making an instant impression with 16 league goals in 33 appearances during the 2014-15 campaign.
But the winger struggled with injury last term as Milan limped to a disappointing seventh-place finish in Serie A.
Menez has been capped 24 times at international level but last played for France in 2013.
