AC Milan risk losing Ante Rebic at the end of this season.
The Croatia attacker, on-loan from Eintracht Frankfurt, has hit a rich seam of form since the New Year amid talk of the Rossonero signing him permanently.
However, sucha prospect now appears remote with Milan owners Elliott Management introducing a new wage ceiling.
Gazzetta dello Sport says no new contracts will be offered for more than €1.5-2m - and Rebic's Eintracht deal already far exceeds that cap.
In Milan's favour is that Rebic's loan doesn't expire until 2021.
The attacking midfielder is also attracting interest from the LaLiga and Premier League.
