Loic Remy's hopes of joining Liverpool are in limbo as the Reds refuse to match West Ham's £12.5million bid for the France striker.
The Hammers own bid has been knocked back unless they stump up £7.5m up front rather than splitting payments over four years.
The 23-year-old would prefer to be part of Roy Hodgson's new-look Liverpool side, but respected French newspaper L'Equipe reports that an expected meeting between the Merseysiders and Nice has failed to materialise amid the Reds' reluctance to offer much more than £10m.
Nice have already been rebuffed interest at that level from Lyon and Remy has joined up with his current club's training camp at Megeve.
Arsenal has also tracked Remy and is considering whether to recruit another forward to replace Shakhtar Donetsk-bound Eduardo.
Remy's agent Frederic Guerra told skysports.com: 'A major club from the Premier League has contacted me about Loic. I have a meeting with the club on Wednesday and we will see what happens.
'Whatever happens Loic will be leaving Nice this summer and he has his heart set on England.'
