Manchester City are launching a new bid for Dinamo Zagreb midfielder Ante Coric.
The Daily Mail says City have offered £7.6million for Coric at Dinamo Zagreb plus another £7m in add ons.
Negotiations are continuing though the Blues are growing frustrated at changing financial margins and the involvement of other agents.
Coric is a 19-year-old Croatia international and was part of the squad at Euro 2016.
He has been a target for Chelsea, Tottenham and Liverpool but City are still in pole position to complete the deal before the transfer window closes on Wednesday.
