City could lose Silva as contract talks stutter over £200,000 a week wage demands
Posted Tuesday, August 21, 2012 by Dailymail
Manchester City's contract talks with David Silva have faltered because of the Spanish winger's contract demands.
Silva has two years to run on the £130,000-a-week deal he signed when he moved to the Etihad two summers ago.
Stuttering: David Silva's new contract talks have faltered due to his high wage demands
The World Cup and European Championship winner wants to be paid more than £200,000 a week and parity with the club's top earners Yaya Toure and Carlos Tevez.
But City have refused to go that far as they seek to streamline the club ahead of the implementation of UEFA's Financial Fair Play rules.
City want to tie Silva down to a new long-term deal as he has been one of manager Roberto Mancini's most important players.
