CKSA Moscow president Yevgeny Giner has said that the club have received "better offers" than AC Milan's for Japanese international Keisuke Honda.
The Rossoneri, who have already reached an agreement to sign Honda when his contract expires in December, have offered the Russian outfit €2m (£1.7m) to secure his release this summer.
However, Giner is believed to be holding out for around €5m (£4.3m) and warned the Serie A side that they risk losing out on him if they do not meet his demands.
"We've had better offers for Honda compared to the Milan one, certainly more interesting and economically viable," Football Italia quotes the 53-year-old as saying. "The issue regards both the sum payable to CSKA and the player's wages.
"However, they have to understand in Italy that they can't treat us like losers, nor will we let ourselves be conditioned by the newspapers.
"Honda has not lost any motivation. He is a CSKA player and has a contract with CSKA."
Honda, who has also been linked with Everton and Tottenham Hotspur, moved to the Russian capital from Dutch side VVV-Venlo in 2010.
