Manchester City refuse to be held to ransom by Lille star Eden Hazard.

The Telegraph says City are prepared to risk missing out on £30million target Hazard by refusing to meet his wage demands.

Despite being in pole position to sign the 21 year-old, who is also a target of Chelsea and Manchester United, City have made it clear to Hazard and his advisers that they will not meet his salary demands, which are understood to be around £200,000 a week. Instead they are prepared to offer around £110,000 a week.
