Leandro Trossard has unexpectedly become one of the most talked-about names of the summer transfer window, with multiple European giants eyeing a move for the Arsenal forward.
According to Just Arsenal sources, the Belgian has been recommended to Turkish giants Fenerbahçe by player agents, while German champions Bayern Munich are also weighing up a potential approach.
Bayern Explore Cheaper Plan B
Bayern’s interest has intensified due to complications in their pursuit of Liverpool’s Luis Díaz. Their initial €52 million bid for the Colombian was rejected by the Merseyside club, leading the Bundesliga side to consider more cost-effective alternatives.
Trossard, valued at around £20 million (€23 million) by Arsenal, is now being viewed as a “Plan B” solution by Bayern. Our sources confirm that the German club have held exploratory talks with the player’s camp to assess his situation and availability.
While Bayern may not be the only club monitoring the 29-year-old, their financial discipline this summer means players like Trossard, with Premier League pedigree and a modest price tag, are seen as shrewd alternatives to big-money targets.
Arsenal Pushing to Extend Deal
At Arsenal, the story is not just about potential exits. Contract renewal talks for Trossard have reportedly gained pace since the arrival of new sporting director Andrea Berta. With two years left on his current deal, the club is believed to be open to securing his future beyond 2027.
Sources close to the player suggest Trossard’s camp prefers to stay in North London, though recent interest from Saudi Arabia has added a layer of complexity. Following a change of agent, negotiations have become more assertive, reflecting the player’s growing leverage in the market.
Trossard made vital contributions in key moments last season and remains a versatile option in Mikel Arteta’s front line. Whether he stays or moves on, the Belgian’s future is now one of the more intriguing stories of Arsenal’s summer window.

We have to sell some players, I think Trossard is a fair option given the new arrivals and potential new arrivals still to come.
I really like him but he’s lost a lot of his pace and we can still recoup some funds from him
Martinellini helps significantly more on defense and has a better mins per goal ratio in his EPL career on top of being 6 years younger
As has been said already, Arsenal needs to start selling and as is usually the case, it’s far easier to try and exclude candidates than to identify them.
The bottom line (literally) is that several players will have to be offloaded if – always a pretty big “if” – the club can and Trossard appears to be a prime candidate. Most reports suggest that his value is around £17m.
There will have to be others. With the reported arrival of Gyokeres imminent, another prime candidate should be Jesus, of course. I suspect that there will be reasons why he very probably won’t leave though (about 14 million of them according to estimates of his salary).
Berta’s is certainly showing his buying credentials, we’ll need to see how good he is at selling now.
Although he’s had some good moments at Arsenal, for me I’m not really bothered either way to be honest whether he stays or goes. I suppose if push came to shove I’d say sell, and it would give the club some more finance for another signing if needed.
The team have to trimmed; my candidates are:
Zinchenko, Lokonga, Vieira, Nelson and Trossard.
I do not mention G.Jesus bucause he has to recover from his injuries.
Bringing Mosquera and Eze, still not signed will leave the squad with 25 players, including the 3 academy players.(Skelly,Nwaneri and Dowman).
“to be trimmed”
Keep your hands off Trossard. He’s a top-quality attacking player who elevates the whole team. I’d much prefer to have him stay—an outstanding finisher with an excellent work ethic.
