Arsenal are preparing to move Leandro Trossard on after agreeing personal and club terms with Be\u015fikta\u015f, according to The Athletic. The reported transfer fee is \u00a317.1 million ($22.9 million), the bulk of it guaranteed, with \u00a31.7 million ($2.3 million) tied to conditional add-ons. The club will not recoup the \u00a327 million paid in January 2023, but the fee represents a useful return for a player approaching his 32nd birthday.<\/p>\n
Trossard, who is part of Belgium\u2019s World Cup squad that faces the U.S. men\u2019s national team on Monday for a place in the quarterfinals, is said to be in the process of finalizing personal terms. He had been earning around \u00a34.7 million ($6.3 million) per season until signing a new contract last summer that included a “significant” pay rise but was not an extension on previous terms until 2027. In T\u00fcrkiye he is reported to be set to receive \u00a37.7 million ($10.3 million) each year, a figure that could match his recent Arsenal wages after that raise.<\/p>\n
Selling Trossard is part of a wider summer refresh. Arsenal\u2019s priority, having won the Premier League title, is to upgrade the squad with players who can make consistent impacts at the highest level. Two names linked to that ambition in recent coverage are Bradley Barcola, who has been pushed to the fringes at Paris Saint-Germain, and Morgan Rogers, the standout prospect at Aston Villa.<\/p>\n
Reports suggest Villa may demand \u00a3130 million ($173.6 million) for Rogers, a valuation influenced by Elliot Anderson\u2019s \u00a3116 million ($154.9 million) move to Manchester City. Barcola might present a cheaper option, but Paris Saint-Germain are said to value the French winger highly and regard him as worth more than Anderson.<\/p>\n
For Arsenal, the Trossard departure would free wages and a squad place as the club chases longer-term reinforcements to build on domestic success and press for European honours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
