Besiktas has reportedly opened negotiations to acquire Leandro Trossard, who is no longer in Arsenal’s plans. The club has submitted an official offer to the English side, signaling a decisive move in the current transfer window.
Besitas, aiming to remain competitive in the championship race this season, has targeted the 30-year-old Belgian winger.
According to reports, Besiktas has proposed a €22 million ($25.7 million) transfer fee, slightly below Arsenal’s valuation of €25 million–€30 million. Trossard appeared in 56 matches for Arsenal last season, registering 10 goals and 10 assists.
Born on Dec. 4, 1994, Leandro Trossard began his professional career at Genk in Belgium, where his performances attracted attention from top European clubs. Following a successful spell at Brighton & Hove Albion, he joined Arsenal in 2023.
Trossard primarily operates as a left winger but is equally effective in attacking midfield and central forward positions. Renowned for his technical proficiency, tactical intelligence, and positional versatility, he has recorded 130 goals and 67 assists across 471 career appearances. Internationally, he has earned 44 caps for Belgium, scoring 10 goals.
