Futbol üzrə Belçika milli komandasının yarımmüdafiəçisi Leandro Trossard İngiltərənin “Arsenal” klubundan ayrılaraq “Beşiktaş”a keçib.
Arena.az xəbər verir ki, bu barədə Türkiyə klubunun mətbuat xidməti məlumat yayıb.
Transferin detalları və tərəflər arasındakı müqavilənin detalları açıqlanmır. Amma Britaniya mətbuatı “Arsenal”ın bu satışdan 15,3 milyon funt-sterlinq qazanacağını (1,7 milyon avro bonus da nəzərdə tutulub) yazır.
Leandro Trossard Belçikanın “Genk” klubunun yetirməsidir. O, bu klubda olarkən “Lommel Yunayted”, “Vesterlo”, “Leuven” kimi klublarda icarədə də oynayıb. 2019-cu ildə “Brayton”a üz tutmuş yarımmüdafiəçi 2023-cü ildə məhz bu klubdan 24 milyon avro qarşılığında “Arsenal”a keçmişdi. Belçikalı futbolçu London təmsilçisinin heyətində 174 oyun keçirib, 36 qol və 34 məhsuldar ötürmə müəllifi olub.
Trossard 2020-ci ildə debüt etdiyi Belçika milli komandasının heyətində 57 oyuna çıxıb, 14 qol vurub, 8 məhsuldar ötürmə verib.
“Transfermarkt” internet-portalı 31 yaşlı vingerin transfer dəyərini 18 milyon avro məbləğində qiymətləndirir.
Arsenal are reportedly now expected to step up their transfer pursuit of Morgan Rogers and Christos Tzolis after the sale of Leandro Trossard.
The Gunners are reigning Premier League champions but will want to build on that success and try to improve even further after notably reaching the Champions League final but losing to Paris Saint-Germain on penalties.
It looks like the major changes could take place in attack, with Trossard confirming to Arsenal that he plans to accept an offer to join Besiktas, according to TEAMtalk.

Arsenal to revamp their attack with new signings and sales
The report also adds that Gabriel Martinelli could leave the Emirates Stadium this summer, though Arsenal can also spend significant money on Rogers and Tzolis even if Trossard is the only one departing.
It’s important in modern football to be careful with squad planning due to Financial Fair Play laws, but it seems Arsenal are confident they could invest in signings even without selling Martinelli on top of Trossard.
The north London giants spent big last summer and it helped them take that crucial step forward to land their first title in 22 years, so if they show similar ambition this year they’ll surely feel they can keep improving and perhaps finally land that elusive Champions League title.

How to improve this Arsenal team
Even if AFC were fully deserving champions in the end, and unlucky to lose on penalties after a 1-1 draw with PSG, there is clearly room for improvement in Mikel Arteta’s side.
Some fans will feel the title could have been wrapped up even earlier with a bit more spark and flair in the front three, and that’s where someone like Rogers could have a major influence.
And in that final against PSG, Arteta’s side struggled to keep the ball and create enough, even if they were defensively solid, so in future we could perhaps see a more even game with the presence of players like Rogers and Tzolis who can give them more initiative and forward momentum.
Leandro Trossard is expected to join Turkish club Besiktas from Arsenal this summer.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal have already authorised the move and are now waiting for the Belgian to greenlight the transfer.
Romano wrote on X: “Besiktas remain locked in talks with Leandro Trossard’s camp to sort details and try to get the player’s final green light to the move. Arsenal have already authorized travel and medical. Up to Leandro.”

Leandro Trossard needs a move
The 31-year-old has been an important player for Arsenal since joining the club from Brighton, and he played a key role in their Premier League title win last season. However, he is in the twilight stages of his career, and this is the right time for Arsenal to move him on.
He will not want to sit on the bench at a big club at this stage of his career. He will be able to play every week in Turkey and showcase his qualities. He has already proven himself in England, and this is the right time for him to take on a new challenge.
It will be interesting to see whether Arsenal can properly replace him. They need a dynamic attacker who can score goals and create opportunities. The Belgian was versatile enough to slot into multiple attacking roles as well.
“Beşiktaş” heyətini yeni futbolçu ilə gücləndirməyə hazırlaşır.
Futbolpress.az xəbər verir ki, “qara qartallar” “Arsenal”dan Leandro Trossard ilə anlaşıb. Bu barədə Türkiyə mətbuatı məlumat yayıb. Belçikalı yarımmüdafiəçinin yaxın zamanda İstanbula gələcəyi və tibbi müayinədən keçəcəyi bildirilib.
Trossard Belçika millisi ilə dünya çempionatında 6 oyunda 2 qol vurub, 3 məhsuldar ötürmə edib.
Arsenal’s attacking rebuild appears to be entering a decisive stage, but the next move depends on resolving a key departure first.
The Gunners want to refresh their options on the left wing as they prepare to defend the Premier League title and compete again for the Champions League.

Rather than waiting until late in the window, Arsenal seem to have already identified a younger replacement who is eager to move to the Emirates.
However, the club are also keeping a more expensive Premier League target separate from those plans, suggesting Mikel Arteta could ultimately add two different attacking profiles.
Trossard decision holds up winger deal for Arsenal
According to Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal are waiting for Leandro Trossard to give his final approval to a move to Besiktas before completing the signing of Christos Tzolis.
The Club Brugge winger reportedly wants to join Arsenal and has placed another proposal on hold while waiting for the Gunners.

The situation is approaching its final stages, although Trossard’s personal decision remains crucial.
FootballTransfers reports that Arsenal remain in regular contact with Tzolis’ representatives and are prepared to move once the Besiktas transfer is completed.
Tzolis would provide a younger and more direct option on the left. His improved productivity in Belgium has revived his reputation following a difficult spell with Norwich City, and his willingness to wait for Arsenal suggests personal terms should not become a major obstacle.
Morgan Rogers is still Arsenal’s leading attacking target and is being considered separately from the Tzolis deal.
That means the Greek international would likely replace Trossard, while Rogers could be brought in as a versatile starter capable of playing centrally or from the left.
The main problem is Aston Villa’s valuation. Sky Sports reports that Villa value the England international at £130m and do not want to sell him this summer.
Signing Tzolis after selling Trossard would represent sensible squad management. Arsenal would lower the age of their attack while bringing in a winger with strong recent numbers and clear motivation to join.
Rogers would be the more transformative addition, but £130m is excessive.
Arsenal should continue negotiations without allowing Villa’s demands to control their summer.
Arsenal winger Leandro Trossard is reportedly set to travel to Istanbul next Wednesday to complete his €20m transfer to Besiktas.
The Belgium international has just finished his participation at the World Cup 2026 as his country were knocked out by Spain yesterday.

But it seems that should now allow things to move a bit faster in terms of settling his future, with our understanding for some time now being that things were advancing for Trossard to join Besiktas.
According to Turkish source Haber Kartali, Trossard is now close to moving for a fee of €20m, with the 31-year-old set to sign a €9m-per-year contract…
??? LEANDRO TROSSARD EN GEÇ ÇAR?AMBA GÜNÜ ?STANBULDA!
The post above translated as: “LEANDRO TROSSARD IN ISTANBUL NEXT WEDNESDAY! Beşiktaş will pay Arsenal a €20M transfer fee. Trossard will sign a 3+1 year contract with Beşiktaş. He will earn €9M per year + bonuses.”
Could Arsenal be letting Leandro Trossard go too soon?
Trossard is not getting any younger, but he was still a key player for Arsenal in their Premier League title win and run to the Champions League final in 2025/26.
The former Brighton man scored a hugely important late winner away to West Ham United in a game that is widely seen as having cemented the club’s status as title favourites in the run-in.
Trossard will leave the Emirates Stadium with an impressive record of 36 goals in 174 games, and it might not be that easy to find a young talent out there to come in as a long-term replacement.

It is perhaps Arsenal’s last chance to make any money from selling Trossard, so this could be the right time, but it’s not a sale without its risks.
