Rossoneri Round Up for Apr 1: AC Milan Will Be Patient On Rebic Negotiations To Gain Bargaining Chip

MilanLive.it are reporting that AC Milan will be patient in their approach for Ante Rebic. The Croatia international has been a revelation in 2020 and is currently on a two year loan swap from Eintracht Frankfurt for Andre Silva. Frankfurt have raised their valuation of the winger to about 40 million but about 50% of that will go to Fiorentina as part of an older deal.

Milan will wait it out before opening any negotiation as the winger will be down to a single year on his contract with Frankfurt at the end of next season. Thus Milan will have a stronger negotiating position and could push for a lower price as the German side would not want to risk Rebic running down his contract and leaving for free.
