Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham to Battle for Croatian Starlet - Report

Dinamo Zagreb winger Robert Muric is set to be at the centre of a transfer battle between Premier League heavyweights Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham this summer.

Ajax had been the favourites to seal a deal for the Croatian prodigy before he becomes a free agent in the summer, but the Dutch club have admitted that no deal has been sealed yet.

"Muric is wanted by many clubs – everybody wants him," said Ajax technical director Marc Overmars.

"He really is a great talent and will be a free agent in the summer. But he is not yet ours."

Should Ajax not bring in Muric, the Premier League trio are likely to make a move for the starlet after keeping tabs on him throughout the season.

The Croatia U-17 international rejected a new contract at Dinamo but will stay for the rest of the season.

In the meantime, Hadjuk Split midfielder Mario Pasalic has confirmed that he will be moving to Chelsea in the summer after a deal was completed in January.

"The Hadjuk jersey is sacred and I will miss it in the summer when I go to Chelsea," the Croatian teenager reportedly said at a ceremony celebrating Hajduk's 103-year anniversary.
