Arsenal have turned down an informal proposal from Al Ittihad to sign forward Leandro Trossard.
The Saudi Pro League side made a preliminary offer for a season-long loan, including a fee of €5million (£4.2m; $5.5m), with an obligation to buy next summer for a price between €20-25m.
However, Arsenal made clear the 29-year-old Belgium international is not for sale at any price as remains is a key part of Mikel Arteta's squad.
Trossard has a number of years left on his deal at the Emirates Stadium and started the 1-1 draw against Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday.
Arsenal signed Trossard from Brighton in January 2023 and he has played an important role, scoring 19 goals and providing 12 assists in 71 appearances for manager Arteta's men.
Towards the end of last season, he replaced Gabriel Martinelli in the starting line-up, with his 17 goals and two assists in 46 games contributing to Arsenal coming within two points of the Premier League title.
He came off the bench to score the opening goal in Arsenal's 2-0 victory at Aston Villa on August 24, saying after the victory: 'I think everyone wants to start games and play games obviously then it's up to the player how they respond.
“I always want to make an impact if it's off the bench or as a starter. I think I've done my job today to help the team there's not much more that I can do in that aspect.”

They're taking advantage of Trossard's SUPPOSED dissatisfaction at lack of game time to lure him to Arabia..They should keep their hands off in my opinion
It's a No brainer and the Board didn't even prolong talk on this sef

I swear, they're mad; and it seems this clubs now know how soft Arsenal is when it comes to selling; How will A Saudi club be looking for a Loan of 5m with obligation to buy for just 29m?? Are they mad?? Forget about the age; we know how much they've been paying for players older than Trossard
