The Portuguese flier, surprisingly fit for tonight's Champions
League clash with Marseille, wants to discuss a new contract and
wage rise on the back of his sparkling season.
But that has already been rejected and Nani, 24, has already
told close friends he is considering a new challenge.
He is just a year into a new four-year contract signed last
March.
That raised his wages to around £65,000 at a time when he was
nowhere near as influential as he is now.
The player's representatives now believe he should be among the
top-paid players at the club.They would not expect him to get the
£250,000 a week Wayne Rooney earns, but nearer the £100,000 the
likes of Dimitar Berbatov pick up.
But the club have told Nani's people there is no way they will
be renegotiating with three years left on his current deal.
Nani, who has quickly recovered from a badly gashed leg, has
told friends he is interested in a move to Italy while Real Madrid
have long admired him and would also be interested.
