Fiorentina have suggested the deal to sign Liverpool defender Emiliano Insua could be in jeopardy due to the player's wage demands.

Liverpool confirmed they had reached an agreement with Fiorentina over the fee for Insua, but it appears the player would have to take a pay-cut if he is to leave Anfield.

"We have an agreement with the English club, but we have to find an understanding with the player in terms of wages," he told Quotidianopuglia.it. "We cannot guarantee him the figures that he gets at Liverpool."

Liverpool have reportedly been looking to sign Mexico defender Carlos Salcido from PSV Eindhoven to replace Insua at left back.
