Rebic currently plays for Eintracht Frankfurt at club level in the Bundesliga, with no mention of how much they would demand as a fee.

Croatia finished runners-up in the World Cup after they lost 4-2 to France in their first ever final.

The 24-year-old has scored two goals in 22 appearances for Croatia, since making his debut for the national team in 2013.

Rebic is able to operate anywhere across the frontline, lining up out wide for Croatia at times.

There is no suggestion of how much Frankfurt would demand for the striker.
