Bild report today that Benfica want to send representatives to Freiburg this week to negotiate a transfer for 24-year-old attacker Luca Waldschmidt.
Even though he has a release clause amounting to €23 million, the Portuguese club believe they can sign the Germany international for a fee around €12m.
Waldschmidt has two-years remaining on his contract at Freiburg after joining the club from Hamburg in 2018 for €5m.
