The Croatia Under-21 attacker could be sent out on loan if the deal goes through.
The teenager impressed both Ronald Koeman and director of football Steve Walsh during their recent Europa League tie with Hajduk.
Vlasic has scored 10 goals in 85 appearances for the Croatian outfit since breaking into the first team three seasons ago.
Split president Ivan Kos hinted to local news outlet Slobonda Dalmacija the club could sell their star teenager.
He said: “The transfer window runs until August 31, sometimes transfers happen a minute before midnight.
“We don’t want to lose one per cent of our quality, we also have to think about financial stability.”
