A different level but Lampard's contract was similar to that

He wanted ?x, Chelsea were mindful of his age and weren't happy to pay it for a period when he might not have been such a key player.

I think from memory they agreed a four year deal where he got top dollar for two seasons then less for the following two.

I'm pretty sure there's a lot examples of these sort of negotiations but 99% don't go having a public hissy fit with their b***h of an agent.
