Incoming Liverpool star Luis Diaz is set to earn just £56,000-a-week at Anfield.
The Reds are close to completing an initial £37.5million deal with Porto for the 25-year-old Columbian.
The proposed transfer includes £12.5m in add-ons and is expected to be completed before the transfer deadline on Monday evening.
Diaz has established himself as one of the finest forwards in Europe, scoring 14 goals in 18 league games this season to give Porto a great chance of winning the Portuguese title.
The 31-cap ace has also excelled on the international stage, helping Columbia reach the semi-finals of the Copa America last summer.

Many expect Diaz to receive a similar pay packet to Diogo Jota (£90,385-a-week) and Takumi Minamino (£75,000-a-week).
According to reports from Portuguese outlet SIC, however, that will not be the case.
Diaz is said to have agreed a €3.5m annual salary at Liverpool, which works out at just shy of £56,000-a-week.
Konstantinos Tsimikas (£60,000-a-week), Adrian (£58,000-a-week), Nat Phillips (£64,615-a-week) and Divock Origi (£60,000-a-week) all earn more.
Liverpool's highest earner is Virgil van Dijk, who takes home £220,000 every seven days. Mohamed Salah, who is currently negotiating a new deal, is on £200,000-a-week.
Julian Ward, who is set to replace Michael Edwards as the club's sporting director at the end of the season, is believed to have brokered the Diaz deal with Porto.
News of Ward's successful negotiation will please Liverpool fans, who were anxious about Edwards' impending departure after years of service.
The administrator has been in charge of the club's transfer business since August 2015, overseeing the signings of Van Dijk, Salah, Alisson and many more superstars.
Many fans have been calling for the administrator to sign a forward before his departure... and it appears they've got their wish.
Diaz's impending move is said to have angered Porto manager Sergio Conceicao, who was counting on the talent to inspire them to success this season.
But Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson will be delighted with the news after praising the Columbia international last November.
"Diaz is an excellent player, he does a lot of work for the defence, he did it in the goals of Copa America... in Porto he comes with good performances," said the Brazil international.
And former Colombia coach Arturo Reyes has compared Diaz to Manchester United and England winger Jadon Sancho.
"A player like Lucho, with the qualities he has, can play for any team," said Reyes. "It’s not easy to find players like him.
"There are things similar to Sancho. Both have fun on the field, they don’t feel pressure and they play the same way in any side."
Prolific scorers Salah and Mane are likely to enjoy playing alongside Diaz, who is happy to be a team player and assist rather than be the centre of attention.
"I like goals a lot, since I was little," said the incoming talent in December 2020. "But if I see my teammate better positioned, I try to assist.
"Sometimes my teammate tells me, 'Why don't you shoot?'... but I prefer to give him the pass because he's in a better position to score."
