Shakhtar Donetsk star Darijo Srna is a £10 million target for Chelsea.
The London Evening Standard says Chelsea have already made an enquiry for the 27-year-old and the Ukrainian side won't stand in his way when Chelsea make their offer next month. Srna's deal runs out in 2011 but Shakhtar president Rinat Akhmetov is believed to have told him he can leave in the transfer window if a big club matches his valuation.
The Croatia international has been at Shakhtar since 2003 and they are prepared to negotiate a transfer because he helped them win the UEFA Cup last season.
Srna said: “The truth is I have two definite offers from top clubs in Europe, but I cannot name them. That would not be right.”
