Leandro Trossard is increasingly likely to leave Arsenal this summer, with Borussia Dortmund the latest club to join the race for the winger.
Gary Jacob reports for The Times that Leandro Trossard is increasingly likely to leave Arsenal this summer, helping the Gunners to fund further moves in the summer market.
Trossard has two years left on his contract in north London, but Jacobs writes that he’s attracting interest from Borussia Dortmund and Premier League clubs.
Florian Plettenberg of Sky Germany had initially broken the news of Dortmund’s interest in Trossard, with the club looking for wide players after selling Jamie Gittens to Chelsea. Jadon Sancho is reportedly another name on their shortlist.
Plettenberg added that Trossard has two concrete offers from Premier League clubs.
Trossard had been linked with Turkish Super Lig club Fenerbahce earlier in the window, and the Turkish media haven’t completely given up on the possibility just yet.
Hurriyet report in their print edition on Wednesday, July 30th that Trossard is still being linked with Fenerbahce as Jose Mourinho eagerly awaits a new winger, though there are other names on the club’s shortlist.
As for how much Arsenal are hoping to bring in for Trossard, Tom Victor writes for the Mirror that the Gunners are believed to value the Belgian international at around £17m.
James McNicholas reported for The Athletic earlier this week that Arsenal had been in talks over a new contract for Trossard, but that deal remains unsigned as the player’s representatives assess their summer market opportunities.
Though McNicholas did warn that there might be issues if interest arrives too late, with Arsenal previously showing that they’re willing to turn down decent offers for Trossard if they don’t have time to sign a replacement.
Al Ittihad had made an offer in the region of €30m (£25.9m) late in the 2024 summer window, but Arsenal turned it down and refused to entertain further bids. It was already September, far too late to find someone to fill Trossard’s spot in the squad.
Any interested clubs should probably make their move sooner rather than later to avoid the same outcome.
