Arsenal were linked to Freiburg defender Caglar Soyuncu earlier this summer and it was expected that the Londoners would sign the player. Yet it appears that they were put off by the €30m asking price.
The 22-year-old Turkey international has since become a target for Europa League holders Atletico Madrid, who are uncertain over the futures of Diego Godin and Stefan Savic.
Atletico approached Freiburg with an enquiry as a result of the above, and were told that they would need to bid €30m for the player - but Sport report that something has apparently led them to believe that a transfer could be had for €10m less.
