Reports: Juventus sign Mandzukic
By Football Italia staff
It’s reported Juventus have agreed to sign Mario Mandzukic from Atletico Madrid for €18m.
The Bianconeri were reported to have agreed a contract with the Croatian international, with director general Beppe Marotta flying to Madrid to convince his club.
La Stampa, Gianluca Di Marzio and Gazzetta dello Sport are now reporting that an agreement has been reached, with Mandzukic set to join for a fee of €18m.
The fee will be made up of €15m up front, with €3m to be added on in bonuses.
Sky believe that the 29-year-old has signed a four-year contract with the Old Lady, earning around €3.5m per season.
As reported earlier today, Marotta will fly to Madrid to complete the deal, but it appears everything has already been agreed, with only official confirmation yet to come.
The former Bayern Munich man is likely to replace Carlos Tevez, who is on the verge of returning to Boca Juniors.
