Southampton have opened contract talks with Morgan Schneiderlin.
The Daily Mail says the deal, which was put to the last week, is under consideration, but the 25-year-old wants various clauses inserted into the new contract.
Saints are desperate to keep him at the club and have offered him a deal in excess of the £2million a year deal he is presently on.
Southampton's highest earning player is Jose Fonte on £45,000 a week, but Schneiderlin will be offered more to keep him under Ronald Koeman's wing.
