Swansea City striker Bafetimi Gomis' personal demands is stalling his move to Marseille.
Swans coach Alan Curtis confirmed last week the Frenchman could leave imminently.
But L'Equipe says while Marseille are in pole position to sign the former Lyon man, Gomis's wages are a stumbling block at present.
He did not travel to the US as part of Swansea's pre-season tour while looking to secure a move away from the Liberty.
