Fiorentina are not ready to give up on their move for Liverpool's Emiliano Insua, despite new complications arising due to the player's wage demands.
On Friday La Gazzetta dello Sport claimed Liverpool and Fiorentina had agreed a £5 million deal for the Argentinian. That was followed by Pantaleo Corvino claiming his club were "on the right track" in relation to concluding the deal.
However, the Viola sporting director has now back-tracked on his previous statements as new questions come to the fore.
"We have an agreement with the English club, but we have to find an understanding with the player in terms of wages," Corvino told Quotidianopuglia.it.
"We cannot guarantee him the figures that he gets at Liverpool."
Earlier, midfielder Stevan Jovetic claimed he was looking towards a "bright future" with Fiorentina, and Corvino underlined he is not for sale.
"I have already rejected €30m (£25m) for Jovetic."
Reports suggest that offer came from Real Madrid, but Barcelona have also been linked with the Montenegrin.
