Liverpool trying to talk down demands of Real Madrid star Figo

Liverpool are in talks with the advisors of Real Madrid wing ace Luis Figo.

West Ham are also deep in discussions for the Portugal international, whose future is expected to be decided by the end of this week.

The Daily Express says Liverpool chief Rick Parry is locked in negotiations with Figo's representatives, but the 32 year-old's current £90,000-a-week Real wages are proving a stumbling block.
