The Western Bulldogs are prepared to pay Adam Treloar $600,000-per-season over the next five years, meaning Collingwood will have to take on $1.5 million of his contract over that period.
According toย SEN'sย Sam Edmund, the Bulldogs are set to ask the Magpies to fork out a hefty sum if they are keen to offload their star midfielder.
Treloar is hoping to hold every dollar he is owed by the Magpies and would be satisfied to remain at the club or move to Whitten Oval.
The 27-year-old was impressed by Luke Beveridge during a meeting between the pair on Tuesday and would be willing to move to the club under the circumstances he remains on the same pay grade.
The Bulldogs are also sharing their attention with wantaway midfielder Josh Dunkley, with the club requesting two first-round selections in return for the 23-year-old.
If Essendon are to give into their demands, the Magpies could be satisfied with a trade with the Bulldogs for Treloar if the club are willing to move on a high pick in exchange for the Collingwood gun.
The Bombers have stated they aren't willing to ship two first-round selections, with both parties believing the other will cave as the trade deadline nears.
The Bulldogs currently hold pick 14, which they will look to move as they tally a bid for academy product Jamarra Ugle-Hagan.
