Despite strong rumours, Leandro Trossard’s move to German giants Bayern München is not happening. The Belgian is not on the radar. Multiple Premier League clubs are busy in the ongoing summer transfer window. Arsenal are one of the busiest clubs right now. While the club has been signing players after players, there hasn’t been any update on departures from Arsenal. Until Leandro Trossard got heavily linked with Bayern München. Bayern are in search of a steady left winger for weeks. Recently, speculations started to break out that Arsenal left winger Leandro Trossard might head towards Bayern München. As Trossard’s departure is a high probability, the rumour was getting a strong push. But that wild rumour remained a wild rumour. As of now, Bayern München are still looking for a perfect wide winger. On the other hand, Leandro Trossard’s future at Arsenal is still a mystery.
Bayern’s Denial: Leandro Trossard’s Position is in Jeopardy
No one knows the future of Leandro Trossard. But one thing is clear to almost everyone. If Trossard stays at Arsenal, even Arteta can’t guarantee him game time. The Gunners have already signed Noni Madueke from Chelsea. Arsenal already have Gabriel Martinelli in their team. Even if the Brazilian leaves, Arsenal will surely sign another left winger as Arteta doesn’t consider Trossard a starter. This has pushed Leandro Trossard down the pecking order more than ever. The Belgian international joined Arsenal from Brighton back in the 2023-24 season. At Brighton, Trossard scored 25 goals in 121 matches. Since joining Arsenal, Trossard has carried almost similar stats as his spell at Brighton. In 124 matches so far, the 30-year-old has registered 28 goals in the EPL. Considered an underrated performer, Trossard has also provided 23 assists for the club. The player has never complained about his clarity of role under Arteta’s coaching. Whenever the team needed him, Trossard has delivered. But Arsenal feel that Trossard is no longer useful in the squad.
No Interest in Trossard: Bayern’s Top Targets in Wing
Leandro Trossard is not a ‘hot topic’ in the Bayern camp. German winger Leroy Sane recently left the club to join Turkish club Galatasaray. After Sane’s departure, Bayern München are constantly looking for a left winger. At first, Bayern were seriously pursuing the big-money transfer of Rafael Leao from AC Milan. The German club had Manchester United as a competitor, also. But neither Bayern nor Manchester United could pull off the deal. After Leao, the Bundesliga Champions enquired about Trossard’s teammate Gabriel Martinelli. But Arsenal do not want Martinelli to be the one who leaves. On the other hand, Bayern do not think that Leandro Trossard suits the system of Vincent Kompany. After failing to include Martinelli, Bayern have finally found their top target. According to the latest transfer updates, Bayern München have decided to go all out for Liverpool’s Colombian winger, Luis Diaz. But this deal is surely going to be a hard nut to crack. Barcelona are also in the race. The La Liga Champions want to land either Rashford or Diaz ahead of the new season. But as of now, Bayern are the favourites to crack the deal with Liverpool.
Author’s Opinion: What Is Next for Leandro Trossard?
A transfer to Bayern München would have been the most important move for Leandro Trossard. As he still has three to four years more to give, Trossard wants to play European top division matches. But Saudi clubs are also interested in the Belgian. Arsenal surely wants to gain a hefty transfer fee from Trossard’s transfer. The English club would like to show interest in the offer from Saudi clubs. Apart from this, Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahçe have reportedly shortlisted Trossard. The Turkish club is preparing their first official bid. If everything goes well, Trossard has a high chance of joining Fenerbahçe.
