Arsenal could lose Leandro Trossard to Brentford, who are planning a bold transfer window in the Premier League
Arsenal may soon lose winger Leandro Trossard, as Brentford prepares an aggressive move to sign the Belgian forward during the current transfer window, according to Football Transfers. The 30-year-old is also attracting interest from Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, increasing the uncertainty surrounding his future at the Emirates.
Brentford Plots Ambitious Move Amid Contract Uncertainty
Brentford, who are actively seeking a replacement for Bryan Mbeumo, have identified Trossard as their top attacking target. The club sees an opportunity to offer him a more prominent role and capitalize on the fact that his contract expires in June 2026.
Without a renewal, Trossard would be eligible to sign a pre-contract with another club as early as January 2026, potentially leaving Arsenal on a free transfer.
Sources indicate that Brentford’s management believes their project can tempt the Belgian to switch clubs before that happens. They view his current situation at Arsenal where he faces stiff competition for minutes as leverage.
Bayern and Dortmund Also in the Race
Trossard’s situation has also caught the attention of Bayern Munich, who recently signed Luis Díaz from Liverpool but remain open to reinforcing their front line. Reports suggest the German champions have made initial contact with Trossard’s representatives, although no formal offer has been made.
Borussia Dortmund, Bayern’s Bundesliga rival, has also expressed interest. With a revamped sporting project under way, Dortmund hopes to lure the Belgian with the promise of a key attacking role and European football exposure.
Arsenal Eyes Premier League Title, Adds Gyökeres
Despite speculation around Trossard’s future, Arsenal is pushing ahead with ambitious plans for the 2025/26 season. Following a frustrating campaign that saw them fall short in the Premier League title race, Mikel Arteta’s squad has already landed key signing Viktor Gyökeres from Sporting CP.
The Swedish striker, who attracted interest from several European giants, is expected to play a central role in the Gunners’ title push—aimed at finally surpassing Manchester City and Liverpool.
