Bayern Munich willing to buy Arsenal winger Leandro Trossard
Bayern Munich have set their sights on Arsenal winger Leandro Trossard as a contingency plan in case their pursuit of Liverpool’s Luis Diaz fails. The Bundesliga powerhouse has endured a frustrating summer transfer window, having already missed out on several top targets, including Nico Williams, Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, and Florian Wirtz.
With Vincent Kompany at the helm, Bayern are keen to reshape their attacking line-up ahead of the upcoming season. The departures of Mathys Tel and Leroy Sane have left noticeable gaps in the squad, prompting urgent efforts to secure high-caliber reinforcements. Luis Diaz is currently Bayern’s preferred choice to bolster their offensive ranks, but Liverpool are unwilling to part ways with the Colombian winger.
According to German outlet BILD, Trossard has now emerged as Bayern’s Plan B. The Belgian international, who turns 31 later this year, offers a versatile attacking option capable of operating on either wing or as a central attacking midfielder. Since joining Arsenal, Trossard has played 124 games, scoring 28 goals and delivering 23 assists. His ability to influence matches both as a starter and impact substitute has made him a valuable asset under Mikel Arteta.
Internationally, Trossard has earned 45 caps for Belgium, scoring 10 goals for the Red Devils. His experience at the top level of club and international football, combined with his tactical intelligence and creativity, make him an appealing option for Bayern should the deal for Diaz fall through.

Trossard’s time at Arsenal has been largely productive. Since arriving from Brighton in January 2023, he has contributed consistently to the Gunners’ attacking play. His combination of close control, dribbling, and eye for a final pass has seen him become a reliable presence in Arteta’s rotation, especially in high-stakes matches. However, at 30, Arsenal may be open to negotiations if a reasonable offer comes in, especially with their own ambitions to refresh the squad this summer.
Bayern’s growing interest in Premier League talent highlights a broader strategy under Kompany’s leadership. The former Manchester City captain, now tasked with bringing Bayern back to domestic and European dominance, appears to favor technically gifted, positionally flexible players who can adapt to the high-intensity demands of the Bundesliga.
While Trossard may not be Bayern’s first-choice target, his profile fits the club’s immediate needs. He brings experience, a proven track record in a top European league, and the potential to slot into multiple roles across the frontline.
For now, Bayern will continue to push for Luis Diaz, but with Liverpool standing firm, Leandro Trossard’s name remains firmly in the conversation as the German giants seek to salvage what has so far been an underwhelming transfer window. Whether a deal materializes will depend on Arsenal’s willingness to sell and Trossard’s openness to a new challenge in Germany.
