Edinson Cavani has demanded correspondence with Chelsea's other top earners when he reopens talks with the European champions this week for a possible transfer.
It is believed that the Uruguay striker's representatives will tell the London club he wants a pay deal worth 150,000 Pound a week, which would put him on a par with John Terry, Frank Lampard and Fernando Torres.
Cavani, who can leave Napoli for 35million Pound, is one of the options being considered by Chelsea manager Roberto Di Matteo as he looks to fill the gaping hole left by Didier Drogba.
Once the capture of attacking midfielder Oscar is complete, the Blues will look to complete two more deals - expected to be a centre forward and a right back - before the transfer window closes.
Cavani, 25, who is also on the Juventus wanted list, has been watched by Chelsea for some time and scored against them in the Champions League last season.
Chelsea are also exploring moves for Atletico Madrid striker Radamel Falcao and Real Madrid forward Gonzalo Higuain.
