Today’s edition of Tuttosport (via PianetaMilan) begins a report by stating that Ante Rebic’s farewell at the end of the season is becoming more and more likely given that he is having another sub-par season.

The Croatian, who has been at Milan since 2019, could return to Germany. His former club Eintracht Frankfurt as well as Wolfsburg are keen on him, which means that a replacement would be needed.

Given that Rebic was Rafael Leao’s deputy and an alternative to Olivier Giroud in the centre-forward role, it seems as though Lois Openda of RC Lens has ended up on the list of potential options.

The 23-year-old scored on Tuesday against Toulouse and moved onto 18 goals in Ligue 1 which is an impressive haul, and he seems to be a profile that would fit Milan’s project.
