Aberdeen have made clear that any club wanting to sign Finnish winger Topi Keskinen will need to exceed the £850,000 they paid HJK to bring him to Pittodrie.
Hajduk Split have become the latest club to enter the race, with the Croatian side making contact with the player’s representatives to declare their interest.
Hungarian club Debrecen have already had multiple bids rejected by Aberdeen, with each offer falling below the club’s stated valuation of the 23-year-old.
Danish side Odense also remain firmly in contention, monitoring the situation closely as the transfer window continues to develop.
Hajduk Split, where former Aberdeen midfielder Ante Palaversa previously played, are expected to firm up their interest in the coming days.
Keskinen, who has earned 13 caps for Finland, is regarded internally at Aberdeen as one of their most valuable assets heading into the summer window.
Analytics at the club flag the wide man as one of the fastest in his position, underlining why multiple clubs across Europe are willing to compete for his signature.
Aberdeen left-back Mitchel Frame is also attracting significant interest, with his representatives receiving contact from Swedish club BK Hacken and Polish side Rakow Czestochowa.
The Dons are actively seeking a new left-back and are set to sign free agent Nesta Guinness-Walker, who became available after departing Northampton Town.
Guinness-Walker will provide direct competition for both Frame and Emi Gyamfi in the left-back position at Pittodrie.
Manager Stephen Robinson is overseeing a considerable squad overhaul this summer, with several departures already confirmed or in progress.
Alexander Jensen completed a move to Swedish side Elfsborg earlier this week, while Nicolas Milanovic is set to return to Western Sydney Wanderers.
Striker Marko Lazetic is also expected to depart for FC Noah, with both moves set to generate six-figure returns for Aberdeen.
The flurry of activity underlines the scale of Robinson’s rebuild as he shapes his squad ahead of the new season.
