Fabio Borini's proposed move to Queens Park Rangers has been held up due to the player's wage demands, according to reports.

The Liverpool striker has been heavily linked with a move away from Anfield this summer, with Sunderland reportedly having agreed a fee for the Italian earlier this month.

However, QPR have now emerged as frontrunners for the 23-year-old and are understood to have agreed a fee of £10m that could rise to £13m.

Personal terms are yet to be agreed, though, with Borini thought to be holding out for a £90,000-a-week deal, while QPR have offered £58,000-per-week.

Borini spent last season on loan with Sunderland, scoring 10 goals in 40 appearances in all competitions.
