Ante Rebić will depart from Croatian football club Hajduk at the end of June after rejecting a new contract offer. The club confirmed the news via its social media channels, expressing gratitude for his contributions.

Rebić, a former Croatian international, joined Hajduk last summer on a one-year contract that expires on June 30. His arrival was met with significant enthusiasm, with many anticipating a strong partnership with star player Marko Livaja that could lead Hajduk to a league title. However, this partnership will now be short-lived, lasting only one season.

During his tenure, Rebić played 30 matches for Hajduk, contributing 7 goals and 6 assists. The club stated, "Ante Rebić's contract, which expires on June 30, 2026, will not be extended. As previously communicated, the club offered a new contract, but Ante did not accept it. Ante, thank you for everything and good luck in your future career." The club wished him well in his future endeavors, though it remains unknown if Rebić has other offers or will find a new club soon.

The departure marks the end of a season that did not meet the high expectations set upon Rebić's arrival. The anticipated formidable duo with Livaja did not materialize into a title-winning force, leaving fans to wonder about the team's future direction.

Ante Rebić's contract, which expires on June 30, 2026, will not be extended. As previously communicated, the club offered a new contract, but Ante did not accept it. Ante, thank you for everything and good luck in your future career.
