Leicester City remain in the hunt for HNK Rijeka striker Andrej Kramaric.
The Leicester Mercury says Chelsea have refused to go higher than the £8 million offer they have submitted to Rijeka and City appear to have been successful in persuading Kramaric he would be better suited at the King Power Stadium.
Reports suggest City have met the club's valuation with a package deal that could eventually be worth £9.7 million, which would eclipse the £8 million they spent on Leonardo Ulloa in the summer.
Kramaric's father and representative, Josip, said Chelsea's failure to guarantee Kramaric would be part of their first team squad next season and would not be sent out on loan has also been a factor.
