However, today there really is a random name being thrown in the mix in the shape of Croatian Under-21 international Ivan Lepinjica from Rijeka, according to Croatian outlet Tportal, as translated by Sport Witness.
They claim that Chelsea have offered between €3m to €4m, which is below the clubs valuation.
The report states that the Rijeka hierarchy won’t allow Lepinjica to leave for offers under €5m and they have have reportedly informed the interested parties about this.
