Arsenal transfer news: Euro club 'monitoring' Leandro Trossard ahead of 'possible' exit

Borussia Dortmund are reportedly 'monitoring' Arsenal winger Leandro Trossard ahead of a potential move in the summer transfer window.

Trossard has been continually linked with a move away from the Emirates this summer; German giants Bayern Munich reportedly showed interest in signing the Belgium winger, but they went on to capture Luis Diaz from Liverpool instead.

The 30-year-old joined Arsenal in the January window of 2023 from Brighton & Hove Albion, and he has been an important player under Mikel Arteta.

The Belgian attacker scored 10 goals and provided nine assists in all competitions for the Gunners in 2024-25, but his future has come under intense speculation this summer.

According to Florian Plettenberg, Dortmund are showing keen interest in signing the former Genk attacker, who has received concrete offers from two Premier League clubs.

Trossard's contract situation is a big issue for Arsenal

Trossard has a contract at the north London club until 2027, with Arsenal holding the option of extending the deal for another 12 months.

Arsenal have bolstered their forward areas by signing Viktor Gyokeres and Noni Madueke, and the Gunners could still sign another wide forward; according to The Mirror, this is partly why Trossard is reluctant to sign a new deal at the club.

The Gunners previously received a bid from Al-Ittihad at the end of the 2024 summer transfer window for Trossard, but their loan offer with a view to a permanent deal was rejected.

The versatile winger has changed his agent to German-based DH Sports and Entertainment Agency, which could help him secure a potential move to Dortmund if they come up with a serious offer.

Should Trossard consider leaving Arsenal?

Unlike players like Oleksandr Zinchenko, Albert Sambi Lokonga, Fabio Vieira and Karl Hein, who are transfer-listed, Trossard is still highly valued by Arsenal.

However, he could consider moving to a club where he would not have to worry about competing for his place, but also earn his desired wages.

With Arsenal reportedly keen on signing Crystal Palace winger Eberechi Eze, Trossard’s status in the squad remains up in the air.
