Bayern Munich are reportedly eyeing Arsenal forward Leandro Trossard as a potential Plan B, with the German champions growing increasingly doubtful over their chances of signing Liverpool’s Luis Diaz.

Liverpool are standing firm on their stance that Diaz is not for sale and Bayern have started exploring alternatives. According to German publication BILD, Arsenal forward Trossard has emerged as a serious candidate for the الدوري الألماني giants.

Bayern are in urgent need of wide reinforcements following the exits of Leroy Sane and Mathys Tel. While Diaz remains their top priority, Trossard’s experience and contract situation make him a more attainable option. Arsenal could be open to a deal to avoid losing him on a free next year. Additionally, the Belgium international recently changed agents, and his new representative, Dirk Hebel, has strong ties to German clubs, potentially easing a move to Bavaria.

Trossard scored ten goals and provided ten assists across 56 appearances last season, proving to be a valuable attacking option for Mikel Arteta. He also deputised effectively as a central striker during injuries to Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz.

Bayern will continue to monitor Diaz’s situation but could soon accelerate talks with Arsenal for Trossard. The Gunners must now decide whether to extend the Belgian’s deal or cash in before the new campaign begins.
