Besiktas offer Arsenal winger Leandro Trossard lucrative new contract

Arsenal winger Leandro Trossard is weighing up a lucrative contract offer from Turkish side Besiktas following a £17m bid for his services.

Talks are currently ongoing between the Belgian international and the Super Lig club as the Gunners look to freshen up their squad.

The Istanbul outfit reportedly had their €20m (£17m) valuation accepted last month, though negotiations were delayed by international tournament commitments.

A final decision from the former Brighton attacker is expected in the coming days.

Arsenal look to restructure attack

The north London club are actively seeking to create space and generate funds for new arrivals ahead of the upcoming campaign.

Arsenal have reportedly identified Morgan Rogers and Bradley Barcola as primary targets to bolster their wide options.

Offloading the versatile forward would trigger an immediate escalation in their pursuit of a younger replacement.

Contract situation forces Gunners’ hand

The winger has been a highly effective operator since arriving at the Emirates Stadium in January 2023.

However, he has now entered the final 12 months of his current deal.

This contractual situation makes a summer departure the most logical step for a club determined to maximise their transfer revenue before he can leave on a free.

Besiktas remain optimistic about securing his signature, although the player is understood to be considering several alternative options.
