Im just not sure which club ticks all the boxes for this transfer to happen. From the players point of view he'd want it to be to a top club where he has a chance of winning something, and he'd want to be in the starting 11. But for most top clubs Trossard is probably a bench or squad rotation player, and who is going to pay the £35/40m we'd want for a 28 year old player that will inevitably spend a lot of time on the bench. Maybe the club that most fits is Newcastle, but even they already have Almiron, Isak, Saint Maximin, Guimaras, Wilson, Willock, and Wood as attacking options and if they're to sign someone new they might fancy someone younger than Trossard. Chelsea have also been mentioned but they seem to have set their sights on bigger targets.
So if in January we'd want £35/40m for him then i'd think there's minimal serious interest at that price, except maybe from Newcastle, but if that doesnt materialise then either he signs a new contract with us, or the situation is revisited in the summer and there might be more interest at nearer £20m because he's going the final year of his contract.
