Arsenal have lowered their asking price for Folarin Balogun to €40-45 million, according to Rudy Galetti.
Balogun has been put up for sale by the Gunners this summer and some reports have quoted his asking price as being over €60m.
Transfer journalist Galetti reports that Arsenal are now prepared to accept a lower fee of €40-45m to sell the striker.

Inter are unlikely to reach that high and are set to offer around €30m plus add-ons.
Balogun is surplus to requirements at Arsenal, with Gabriel Jesus the number one choice in the striker position.

Inter Milan have made Balogun their new number one target for the attack this summer after they pulled out of the running for Romelu Lukaku and lost Gianluca Scamacca to Atalanta.
Balogun himself has made it clear he wants to join Inter with a number of not so subtle social media posts over the last week.
Balogun spent the 2022-23 season on loan at Stade de Reims and was one of the best players in Ligue 1, scoring 21 league goals.
He also made his debut for the United States national team this calendar year, having previously represented England at youth level.
