Fulham will not be able to afford to sign Vincenzo Montella on a permanent basis at the end of the season, according to the Italian striker's agent.
The 32-year-old has scored four goals in nine appearances for the Cottagers since moving to the Premiership side on loan from AS Roma in January.
However, he is currently serving a suspension after being sent off in the closing stages of Fulham's FA Cup fifth round defeat to Tottenham.
The player's agent, Tullio Tinti, confirmed: "Montella will definitely go back (to Roma).
"Fulham cannot match his wage demands."
Tinti has also rubbished suggestions that Montella could be moving to AC Milan in a swap deal involving Filippo Inzaghi, adding: "Many stupid things are written. This is one of many."
