Robbie Keane signed a new four-year contract last week, while Ledley King is waiting to be offered a sensible deal.
The Spurs captain is understood to want wages amounting to £70,000 a week. Reports suggest Carrick would want to hold out for £50,000 a week. He has two-and-a-half years remaining on his initial £15,000 a week deal.
