Liverpool midfielder Joe Cole happy to take pay-cut to stay at Lille following season-long loan at Ligue 1 club The former England midfielder, a free transfer arrival at Anfield from Chelsea in July 2010, is set to leave Liverpool this summer with manager Kenny Dalglish expected to cut the wage bill and reduce the average age of his under-performing squad. Liverpool have been forced to subsidise Cole's £130,000-a-week salary during his loan spell with the French champions, paying in the region of two-thirds of his weekly wage. But after enjoying a successful in northern France, Cole admits he is keen to extend his stay at Lille and claims that money will not be a motivating factor if he has the opportunity to remain at the club. I've not spoken to anyone at Liverpool, but I'm expecting a call from them. Cole said. I would like to stay here [Lille], but it's still too early to say. I am happy here, my family too. I was well received and I love this team, but it's not me who decides. We need to see what the board decides. The financial issue is important, but money is not the priority for me. I enjoy being on the pitch and that's the main thing.
