    The agent of Blackburn Rovers‘ striker Nikola Kalinic claims that Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk have made a £6 million bid for the player.

    However, he claims that neither the owners of the Ewood Park club nor manager Steve Kean will discuss the move to Ukraine with either himself or Kalinic.

    The agent, Tomislay Erceg, told The Daily Mirror: “Nikola has been disrespected by the club. He tried all day to speak to them about his transfer request.

    “We even called India to speak to the owners and to the manager Steve Kean, but no-one would talk to us.

    “There is an offer in, and it is worth more than £6 million with bonuses.

    “Nikola does not want to play for Blackburn again.”

    Kalinic only managed 18 league games for Rovers last season, netting five goals along the way.

    It would seem that the limited amount of playing time the Croatian has received has caused his relationship with the club to reach breaking point, his agent singling out manager Kean for particular criticism.

    Erceg said: “I spoke to him three months ago and he said he Kalinic was his best player. Then he never plays him after that.

    “Nikola cannot play for Croatia if he does not get in the Blackburn team. He has to go.

    “He is finished there.”
