Gunners ready to offload star for £20m following Madueke arrival

 

FENERBAHCE LINE UP £20M TROSSARD BID AS MADUEKE'S ARRIVAL FREES UP ARSENAL ATTACK

Arsenal’s imminent signing of Noni Madueke could trigger the departure of Leandro Trossard, with Fenerbahce reportedly preparing a £20 million ($27 million) offer to bring the Belgian winger to Turkey.

Madueke’s arrival from Chelsea signals a reshuffling of Mikel Arteta’s attacking options, and with fierce competition for wide roles—including Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, and now Madueke—Trossard may be allowed to move on in search of regular first-team football.

The 30-year-old has been a reliable performer for the Gunners since arriving from Brighton, offering versatility and clutch goals across multiple competitions. However, with Arsenal strengthening their front line and prioritising younger profiles, Trossard’s role could be reduced significantly heading into the 2025/26 campaign.

Fenerbahce are keen to take advantage of the situation and have identified Trossard as a marquee signing to boost their title challenge and European ambitions. The Turkish giants are reportedly ready to meet Arsenal’s valuation and offer the winger a prominent role and a lucrative contract.

Trossard is understood to be open to the move, especially if his playing time at Arsenal becomes limited. Discussions are expected to progress quickly once the Madueke deal is officially confirmed.

Should the transfer go through, it would mark a notable shift in Arsenal’s attacking strategy, trading the experienced Trossard for the younger and more dynamic Madueke—highlighting the club’s long-term planning under Arteta.

With the window heating up, Arsenal appear ready to make bold moves, and Trossard’s potential exit may just be the start of further squad evolution at the Emirates.
