Nikola Kalinic closing in on move to China?

Nikola Kalinic has reportedly moved closer to leaving Fiorentina after agreeing terms with Tianjin Quanjian.

Since the start of the January transfer window, the Croatian forward has been linked with a switch to the Chinese Super League, and it now appears that a move is nearing completion.

According to Sky Sport Italia, the 29-year-old has accepted Tianjin's offer of an annual salary of over €10m (£8.6m) ahead of a meeting between both parties on Thursday evening.

It has been claimed that Fiorentina have demanded that Tianjin meet the striker's release clause of €50m (£43.2m) if a deal is to be finalised.

The former Blackburn Rovers player has scored 21 goals in 55 appearances in Serie A since moving to Italy in August 2015.
