Renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Beşiktaş have reached an agreement with Arsenal for the permanent transfer of Belgian winger Leandro Trossard during the current summer transfer window.
The 31-year-old international has been a pivotal figure for the Gunners over the past two seasons, playing a crucial role in Arsenal’s recent Premier League title triumph and their historic run to the UEFA Champions League final. However, due to his age, the North London club is now open to letting him leave this summer.

The Transfer Fee: Beşiktaş have agreed to pay €18 million upfront plus €2 million in add-ons to secure Trossard’s services.
