Bayern consider Arsenal winger as Luis Diaz alternative, per Bild

Bayern München’s search for a new winger continues to face roadblocks, with negotiations for Liverpool’s Luis Diaz proving particularly difficult. Now, the German champions are reportedly eyeing Arsenal’s Leandro Trossard.

According to Bild, Bayern have already tabled an offer of €52 million for Luis Diaz and set an internal spending limit of €60 million. However, Liverpool are holding firm and are unlikely to consider any offer below €80 million, casting doubt on Bayern’s ability to secure the Colombian international.

With the Diaz deal stalling, Bayern are exploring alternatives. One name now under consideration is 30-year-old Leandro Trossard. The Belgian international with 45 caps for the Red Devils is reportedly being considered as a more affordable and realistic option.

Trossard is now represented by German agent Dirk Hebel as of July, which could help facilitate a potential move to the Bundesliga. He is under contract with Arsenal until next year, though the Gunners are reportedly keen on extending the deal.

Since joining Arsenal from Brighton & Hove Albion in January 2023 for €24 million, Trossard has made 124 appearances, contributing 28 goals and 23 assists.

His versatility, experience, and lower price tag could make him a sensible choice if Bayern are forced to abandon the Diaz pursuit.
