Agreed
Rebic sucked for the last x clubs (including Frankfurt, only had a decent final) and wasn’t exactly great @WC either
i wouldn't necessarily say he 'sucked', but he definitely played on his level in a club like frankfurt - no offense, kroko.
to establish himself at a big club he needs to become much more consistent and also a bit more mature and unselfish in his decisionmaking. on his day he can be an unstoppable force, but these days are clearly too rare. let's not forget though that perisic for example was also not the player he eventually became at inter, back when he played at dortmund and wolfsburg. he was 26+ when he exploded, rebic is almost 25 now, so there is still SOME time - this will be a defining season for him though either way i feel.
so while it MIGHT turn out to be a good deal eventually, to sign rebic now for about 30M, the chance of that happening is probably below 50%, depending on various factors. for frankfurt it would be a good deal for sure, it's almost impossible for him to increase his market value there - even though his contract is long enough for them to make him stay for one more season.
