Juventus reportedly face competition from Chelsea for Andrej Kramaric, while the striker says a Juve move would be ‘a dream’.

The Rijeka striker has been repeatedly linked with a move to Serie A, with Juventus vying with Milan, Inter and Napoli for the Croatian international.

Gianluca Di Marzio’s website is today reiterating reports that Kramaric has agreed a deal in principle with the Bianconeri, but also believes there is strong interest from English side Chelsea.

The site states that Kramaric has agreed a five year deal with the Old Lady, worth around €1.5m per season. However, Chelsea have also met with the player’s father and are looking to hijack any potential move.

The Blues are believed to be more willing than Juventus to match Rijeka’s valuation of Kramaric, which is thought to be between €10m and €12m.

Meanwhile, the player himself has talked up the possibility of a move to Turin in an interview with Sky.

“Playing for Juve would be a dream for any player in the Croatian league,” Kramaric admitted.

“I’d love to play in Italy one day.

“Juventus have world-class strikers, but I believe in my abilities and I know I’d be able to show my worth to the fans and the Coach.”
