Arsenal winger Leandro Trossard is on the verge of a €20m transfer to Besiktas, following confirmation of earlier reports. Currently competing with the Belgium national team at the 2026 World Cup, Trossard has been in advanced discussions regarding this move.

Details of the transfer indicate that the fee consists of an initial €18m, with an additional €2m in potential add-ons that are anticipated to be straightforward and easily achievable. Although personal terms are still under negotiation, an agreement between the clubs has been reached, as corroborated by The Athletic.

Trossard's participation in the World Cup may delay the finalization of the deal, but expectations remain high that the 31-year-old will complete the transfer once his tournament commitments conclude.
