Bayern Munich are open to selling Kingsley Coman at a vastly reduced asking price and Arsenal are interested in the Frenchman.
The 28-year-old has been at Bayern since 2015, when he initially joined on loan from Juventus, before moving on a permanent basis two years later.
The France international has racked up over 300 appearances for the German giants, in all competitions, in coming up to a decade at the club.
That spell has seen him win eight Bundesliga titles and the Champions League in 2020.
However, he has fallen down the pecking order a little and of his 22 Bundesliga appearances this season, just 11 have come in the starting XI.

It is a similar story for the winger in the Champions League under Vincent Kompany, with eight outings in the competition this season, but just three starts.
Injuries have been a problem for Coman at Bayern, although not a huge issue this campaign, with just a spell out in December with a hamstring complaint.
His contract with Bayern expires in 2027 and the club is looking to cash in on him this summer as they try and balance the books.
Sport Bild report that the Bavarian club will be open to accepting as little as €35m (£29m) for his services.
It is a significant reduction from the asking price they set just last summer, which stood at €70m (£29m).
The report from the German publication describes Arsenal as a ‘hot suitor’ for Coman, with Mikel Arteta looking to strengthen on the wing.
The Gunners have been short up front this season, mainly when it comes to a central striker, but injuries to Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli have also seen their options stretched on the flanks.
Coman has also been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia, where he would undoubtedly earn more than any other option put in front of him this summer.
The former PSG and Juve man has long been linked with a move to the Premier League, with the likes of Manchester United and Liverpool also touted as destinations for him in the past.
It is not new interest from Arsenal either, with the Gunners considering a bid for Coman last summer, but opting against it.
With their need for reinforcements in their forward line made clear this season, and with his asking price significantly lower than it was in 2024, they may be tempted to make a move this summer.
For now, Coman is still involved in Bayern’s first team plans, even if it is not as a regular starter.
He came off the bench on Friday and scored in the 3-1 win at Stuttgart and will hope to be involved as Bayern host Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday night in the Champions League.
