According to Telecomasia.net, Spartak Moscow are dissatisfied with the transfer fee that Palmeiras are seeking for striker José Manuel Lopez.
The Brazilian club aims to receive between €16-18 million plus bonuses from the sale and is currently unwilling to lower the price. As a result, Spartak's sports department has started to consider other, more affordable options in case they cannot negotiate a better deal for the Argentine forward.
Earlier, Telecomasia.net reported that Lopez’s salary at Spartak could be between €2.5-3 million plus bonuses, making him one of the highest-paid players in the Moscow club. Transfermarkt estimates the 24-year-old forward at €10 million.
