Arsenal are preparing to offer Leandro Trossard a new contract, signaling their commitment to keeping the Belgian forward at the Emirates.
Despite his recent red card in the 1-1 draw against Manchester City, the 29-year-old remains a key figure in Mikel Arteta’s squad.
Trossard’s current deal runs until the end of the 2024-25 season, but Arsenal have yet to open formal talks over an extension.
However, according to reports from Belgian outlet Nieuwsblad, the club intends to make him a fresh offer soon.
Earlier this summer, Saudi Arabian side Al-Ittihad tested Arsenal’s resolve with a £25 million bid for Trossard, but the Gunners quickly rejected the offer, making it clear that he was not for sale.
With the player entering the final year of his contract next season, there’s a growing belief within the club that Trossard deserves a pay raise, especially after turning down interest from Saudi Arabia.
Although Arsenal are confident about securing Trossard’s future, the situation has sparked some attention in Belgium as well.
The forward was left out of the national team in September, but manager Domenico Tedesco assured him that the omission was temporary.
Trossard is expected to return to the Belgium squad in October for high-profile fixtures against Italy and France.
For now, Arsenal fans can expect Trossard to bounce back from his recent setback, with a new contract offer signaling the club’s faith in his ability to make a strong impact in the seasons ahead.
