According to Pierpaolo Marino, who is the general manager of the Serie A side Atlanta B.C., has been watching Kramaric but is stating that he will most likely sign for Chelsea.
The Croatian forward is likely planned to be kept in the Chelsea FC first team squad, and will eventually be put as our third choice striker after Didier Drogba retires. The Blues have been linked to a host of other forwards as they will surely look to replace the 37 year old target man. Andrej Kramaric is an absolute goal scoring machine, scoring 54 goals in his last 59 appearances for HNK Rijeka. That is an unbelievable record for any player at any level of football much less a player in the top flight of a European country.
"Andrej Kramaric is on the wish of many top European clubs. The Croatian prospect has strength and goals in his blood and now Juventus and Chelsea are in a battle to acquire him. Both clubs have met with Rijeka, they have also held discussions with the striker’s father. The price to acquire him is between 10 and 12 million that are negotiable.-Mark Doyle Source:Goal"
Andrej Kramaric, in this season alone, has scored 27 goals in 25 appearances. The Croatian seems to be a natural goal scorer and that is exactly what Mourinho looks for. He also possesses the size and strength that Mourinho prefers in his forwards. Kramaric seems to want to move on to a higher level of football, with Chelsea hoping that be his next destination.
