Report: Juve deal with Mandzukic

Reports from Italy claim Juventus have reached an agreement with Atletico Madrid striker Mario Mandzukic.

Atletico are known to be looking for a replacement for Mandzukic, despite the former Bayern Munich forward preferring to stay at Vicente Calderon.

Tuttosport claim Juve have reached out to Mandzukic’s agent to verbally agree a deal for next season but confirmation will wait until Juventus have exhausted their pursuit of Edinson Cavani.

Mandzukic would earn €4m a year after tax and before bonuses if he was to move to Turin and contact has also been made with his club, who are open to the transfer.
