Chelsea's move for Andrej Kramaric has reportedly stalled after his club, Rijeka, demanded more money for the Croatia striker.





​Goal.com understands that the Croatian league runners-up have insisted they receive more than the £8m the Blues were prepared to pay, with Kramaric's former club, Dinamo Zagreb, set to benefit from a substantial sell-on fee.









The 23-year-old left Dinamo for Rijeka in September 2013 and has gone on to score 55 goals for the coastal city club.





They are now holding out for as much money as possible, as the player is interesting several clubs, including Leicester City, where he is expected to be loaned upon signing for Chelsea.





Kramaric is thought to prefer a permanent switch to Stamford Bridge over the King Power Stadium, but the Blues are refusing to be held ransom and are prepared to play hardball on negotiations.





​ Ivan Mance, the Rijeka sporting director, recently discussed the protracted transfer, telling reporters: "It is a tough decision and not only about money but also about a great talent's career.
