Manchester United may be forced to part company with Danny Welbeck because of the striker's wage demands.
The 21-year-old has 18 months remaining on his current contract and discussions have taken place regarding fresh terms.
A report by The People this morning has claimed that those talks have stalled because the England international has demanded £60,000 a week, figures that would quadruple his current pay.
Manchester City and Chelsea are said to be monitoring the situation closely and will submit offers during the summer should no agreement be reached.
