Ante Rebic has signed for Milan on loan with option to buy, Andre Silva going the opposite direction to Eintracht Frankfurt.

Both players were valued approximately €25m and so it is a straight swap.

There had been some concerns, as Andre Silva again had some Achilles tendon issues that were flagged up in a medical.

The same problems had ended his proposed transfer to Monaco last month, but more specific tests found that it could be resolved.

The Portugal international striker played for Milan in Saturday’s 1-0 win over Brescia.

Croatian forward Rebic is a versatile figure who can take on several different roles in the front line.

He had been very close to Inter, but they decided to keep Matteo Politano instead.

Rebic turns 26 later this month and is not new to Serie A, as Fiorentina sold him to Eintracht Frankfurt in 2018 for €2m, with a clause guaranteeing them 30-50 per cent of his sell-on fee.

He had already scored a hat-trick for Eintracht in their DFB Cup game this season.
