Arsenal winger Leandro Trossard has entered advanced talks over a move to Besiktas, with sources indicating a deal is progressing rapidly.
Figures connected to the agents industry have confirmed that Trossard has almost agreed personal terms with the Turkish club, with club-to-club negotiations also set to begin imminently.
The Belgian international appears to have made Besiktas his priority destination, even as other European clubs had previously shown interest in securing his signature.
Atletico Madrid and Juventus were among those linked with a move for Trossard, but both clubs are understood to have cooled their interest significantly in recent weeks.
Reports suggesting Besiktas are preparing to offer Arsenal around €20m for the winger are believed to be accurate, according to well-placed sources familiar with the negotiations.
The exact structure of that deal remains unclear, with a portion of the fee potentially arriving through add-ons and performance-related bonuses rather than an upfront payment.
Arsenal will likely consider €20m reasonable business for a 31-year-old in the final year of his contract, even if supporters would prefer to see him remain at the Emirates Stadium a little longer.
Trossard himself has not been pushing for an exit from Arsenal following what has been a positive spell at the club, which included their 2025/26 Premier League title triumph and a run to the Champions League final.
However, sales were always anticipated at the club this summer following significant spending last year, and Trossard fits the profile of a player Mikel Arteta could move on as he reshapes his attacking options.
The futures of several other Arsenal first-team players are also uncertain, with Ben White, Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli, and Christian Norgaard all facing question marks over where they will be playing next season.
Loaned-out players including Reiss Nelson and Fabio Vieira are also available for transfer, signalling a potentially busy and transformative summer window at the Emirates Stadium.
With Trossard’s deal close to being finalised on a personal level, the focus now shifts to whether Arsenal and Besiktas can reach an agreement at club level in the coming days.
