Antonio Rudiger is reportedly demanding that Chelsea increase their contract offer to £220,000-a-week if they want to keep him at the club.
The Blues' initial offer of £140,000-a-week allegedly incensed the German who turned it down as he allegedly wants to be among the top 10 highest-paid players at Stamford Bridge.
And according to Marca, the defender - who's being chased by several of Europe's big guns as his contract's expiration date looms - will only consider staying with the Blues if they meet his improved demands.
The Blues' Premier League rivals Manchester United have reportedly set their sights on the 28-year-old.
Real Madrid were also chasing Rudiger, but have ended their interest due to his agents demanding a hefty £20m signing-on fee.
Real's withdrawal from the race has put United in pole position to land Rudiger if Chelsea can't convince him to stay put - although Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich are all said to be waiting in the wings.
