Tuttomercatoweb.com reports that Arsenal has lowered their initial demands for the loan of Podolski.
Piero Ausilio has been working hard in London to smooth the road towards a deal and it seems to be paying off. The attacker can be secured on six-month loan for €1.5 million according to the transfer portal, with a further €1.7 million in possible bonuses. With a reported wage of €2 million for his initial six-month stay, the total could reach a maximum outlay of around €5 million by the summer. In June, an option to buy the player outright for €6-€7 million will be discussed.
