Leandro Trossard Nears €20m Move to Besiktas

Leandro Trossard is in advanced talks about a move to Besiktas. Club-to-club negotiations are slated to begin imminently, with Besiktas preparing a €20m offer that sources consider accurate. Sources close to the agents say Trossard has almost agreed personal terms on a contract with Besiktas. The transfer fee may include add‑ons and bonuses beyond the base €20m figure. Trossard, 31, is entering the final year of his Arsenal contract and is unlikely to increase in market value. For Arsenal, a €20m fee represents sensible business given Trossard’s contract situation. The player has not been pushing to leave after a season that saw Arsenal claim the 2025/26 Premier League title and reach the Champions League final. Manager Mikel Arteta may view the timing as an opportunity to refresh his forward line, amid uncertainty surrounding Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli. According to the report, Atletico Madrid and Juventus have cooled their interest, leaving Besiktas in pole position for the transfer. The move could give Trossard regular football and a fresh chapter, while providing Arsenal with funds and squad space. Supporters are likely to feel conflicted, as Trossard has been a trusted, quietly decisive player rather than a headline act.
