Beşiktaş are closing in on the signing of Arsenal winger Leandro Trossard, with negotiations entering the final stage as the Turkish club works to resolve the remaining contractual details before completing one of its biggest moves of the summer.
The only significant obstacle left is a reported 1.5 million euro ($1.7 million) signing bonus. According to Turkish daily Sabah, Beşiktaş has invited Trossard's agent and lawyer to Istanbul for talks aimed at finalizing the agreement.
The Istanbul club has been pursuing the Belgian international for months, and head coach Vincenzo Italiano has made the experienced winger one of his top transfer priorities as Beşiktaş looks to strengthen its attack ahead of the new Süper Lig season.
Beşiktaş have already accelerated its transfer activity by bringing goalkeeper Alexander Nübel and Turkish shot-stopper Doğan Alemdar to Istanbul after reaching agreements with both players. Trossard is now expected to be the club's next marquee arrival.
The clubs have reportedly agreed on a deal worth 18 million euros, with performance-related bonuses capable of increasing the total package to around 20 million euros.
