According to various reports emanating from the British and Australian media, Lucas Neill is expected to leave West Ham United during the close-season.
The 48-time capped Australia international has, according to The Times, rejected the offer of a new contract worth around £2 million per season.
Apparently, the 31-year-old had been earning between £60,000-£70,000-a-week, totalling in excess of £3m a year.
As well as offering what seems to be reduced terms, it appears that the Hammers were only willing to hand the former Blackburn Rovers and Millwall star a one-year extension.
"For a 31-year-old, a one-year deal is the best they could do," a West Ham source is quoted as saying by The Daily Mail.
It is claimed that the Irons will not enter into fresh negotiations as they had offered £500,000 more than they initially wanted to, therefore paving the way for the full-back to move on a free transfer this summer.
The Sun writes that Manchester City are favourites to snap him up, while Newcastle United, Olympiakos and Galatasaray are also being mentioned as possible destinations.
