According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Stefano Pioli is unhappy with the attitude of Ante Rebic and Divock Origi so both strikers have been put up for sale.

The Croatia international didn’t even go on the bench on Sunday in an away game at Juventus. It wasn’t due to an injury, but Milan confirmed Pioli’s decision was merely ‘technical.’

The Italian tactician is unhappy with the striker’s attitude and the same goes for Origi. The former Liverpool forward was openly reproached by Pioli minutes after his introduction from the bench on Sunday and according to Gazzetta, Pioli is unhappy with his attitude during training sessions.

Rebic hasn’t impressed either, so both players have been put up for sale by the Serie A giants.

Rebic and Origi have combined five goals this season. Origi netted twice in 1,187 minutes, while Rebic scored three goals in 1,229 minutes on the pitch. The Belgian forward is also among the club’s highest earners with a €4m-a-year salary.

Pioli and the club are highly disappointed with both players and will be listening to offers for them in the summer.

Origi’s Milan contract expires in June 2026, while Rebic’s deal runs out one year earlier, in June 2025.
