Chelsea's bid for Atletico Madrid striker Sergio Aguero has stalled over his £200,000-a-week wage demands.

The Sun says the Argentina star wants a staggering £10million a year to quit Spaniards Atletico Madrid for the Premier League.

That would easily make him the highest-paid player in England on a whopping £200,000 A WEEK.

Chelsea's top earners at the moment are skipper John Terry and midfielder Frank Lampard on around £150,000 a week.

Aguero's salary demand could well end up pricing him out of a move to Chelsea, as he would also command a transfer fee of around £35m.

Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon is overseeing the move for 21-year-old Aguero. He insists the club must trim its wage bill and attempt to reduce costs as part of a long-term plan to become self-sufficient without the need for subsidy from owner Roman Abramovich.

Aguero would pocket £6m a year AFTER tax if he gets his way on wages.
