Rebic left out by Frankfurt amid Milan rumours

Reports of a move to San Siro have been followed by the striker's absence from the squad for the second straight Bundesliga game

Eintracht Frankfurt attacker Ante Rebic has been left out of the squad to face Fortuna Dusseldorf amid rumours of a potential move to Milan ahead of the transfer deadline.

Rebic has been linked to moves to both Inter and Milan, with reports suggesting he may be on his way to the latter before the close of the transfer window September 2.

The reported deal would see Rebic join Milan on loan, but with a purchase obligation upwards of €25 million (£22.6m/$27.5m) after a certain number of appearances.

Earlier in August, Eintracht had voiced hope Rebic would remain despite the interest from the San Siro sides, with sporting director Bruno Huber claiming they were “still optimistic” of retaining his services.
