Eto’o names his price to the Reds.
Liverpool are set for a second round of talks with striker Samuel Eto’o after disagreements with the former Chelsea star over his wage packet, according to Goal.
The Reds are keen to sign the 33-year-old – who left Stamford Bridge after one season this summer – to help ease the pressure of Luis Suarez’s £75m sale to Barcelona.
However, Eto’o has told the Merseyside club that he wants weekly wages of £135,000-a-week if he is to consider moving to Anfield.
The 2013/14 Premier League runners-up are less keen on that proposal and instead want to offer a smaller wage, but with more performance related add-ons, in the Cameroon international’s one-year deal.
Yet with Ajax, Everton and West Ham United all keen on securing Eto’o’s signature, there is every chance the forward could bypass Brendan Rodgers’ men if his demands are not met.
The African arrived in English football last summer from Anzhi Makhachkala, scoring 12 goals in 35 appearances for the Blues in all competitions before a public falling out with manager Jose Mourinho.
