The 24-year-old has become one of the most talked-about names ahead of the January transfer window, with Atletico Madrid and Benfica and several other major European clubs also considering a swoop for him.
The left-footed Croatian, who only joined Rijeka permanently for €4m (£3.5m, $4.6m) in 2023 after a standout loan from Fiorentina, has exploded this season.
10 goals and two assists in 20 appearances, including a hat-trick in November’s 5-0 demolition of Hajduk Split, have propelled Rijeka up the Croatian top flight and deep into the Europa Conference League.
Atletico, under Diego Simeone, view Fruk as a dynamic alternative in the final third and have spoken with his agents over the last week, while Benfica are understood to have serious interest as Jose Mourinho seeks depth.
Crystal Palace , managed by Oliver Glasner, have scouted the five-time capped Croatian international extensively and believe that he fits their high-energy, transition-based style perfectly.
Rijeka president, Damir Miskovic, has made it clear: any deal will start at €15m (£13.1m, $17.5m), with Fruk’s former club Fiorentina retaining matching rights.
