The 25-year-old spent last season on loan at Torino and want to complete a transfer to the Italian club this summer.

They had an option to make the move permanent but that clause expired last month and Torino are looking to get him for a lower fee.

Torino are keen to get their hands on Vlasic for nothing more than a €10m figure but West Ham are being tough negotiators.

And according to Italian daily La Stampa (via Tutto Mercato), West Ham are remaining strong on what they want before agreeing to sell Vlasic.

The Croatian is not part of David Moyes’ plans but the Hammers do want to relent on their negotiating position.

West Ham want a fee of €13.5m before sanctioning the midfielder’s sale in the ongoing transfer window.

Vlasic is desperate to return to Torino this summer and has been pushing West Ham to agree on a fee.

But for the moment, the Hammers do not want to lose Vlasic for a discounted figure ahed of the new season.
