Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Emre Can is demanding Liverpool up their contract offer.
The Daily Express says according to reports, talks are in danger of collapsing unless Can's wage demands can be met.
Liverpool are prepared to activate Can's £10million release clause, but personal terms appear to be a sticking point.
It is thought Can is keen on a move and is no rush to resolve his future at Leverkusen.
