Michael Owen is considering a move to Everton but for less money than what he is being offered to join Hull City.
The People reports the Newcastle striker could be willing to settle for £50,000-a-week at Goodison Park - £10,000 short of the £60,000-a-week the Tigers are willing to pay to pay him for two seasons.
The 29-year-old's Newcastle four-year contract at St James' Park runs out on Tuesday.
Everton boss David Moyes wants to bring back Manchester City striker Jo on a season-long deal and partner him with Owen.
Owen, who also been the subject of interest from Stoke City, is said to be waiting if Aston Villa make a move before making a decision on a switch to Merseyside.
