Liverpool defender Daniel Agger has been linked with a move to AC Milan after talks regarding a new contract at Anfield reportedly stalled.
Agger, who has also attracted interest from Real Madrid, is demanding a 100 per cent pay increase, going from £35,000-a-week to £70,000.
However, Liverpool are reluctant to offer such an inflated salary, despite the fact his current deal is set to run out in 18 months time.
If a compromise cannot be reached, Liverpool will sell the Denmark international in January, rather than risk losing him for a cut-price fee at the end of the season.
Milan are in desperate need of defensive reinforcements due to their ageing backline.
Coach Carlo Ancelotti has been promised funds to bring in new, younger players in the January transfer window, and 23-year-old Agger is seen as potentially obtainable, especially as he is not guaranteed to be a first-choice starter at Anfield when Martin Skrtel returns from injury.
Milan believe they can bring Agger to the San Siro for around £8 million, which would give Liverpool a £3m profit on the £5m they paid in signing him from Brondy two years ago.
However, Milan will have a fight on their hands from Real for Agger's signature. The Spanish champions have long courted the Dane and the Mirror reports they could offer manager Rafa Benitez Gabriel Heinze in a player-plus-cash deal.
