Atletico Madrid striker Mario Mandzukic is expected to have his Juventus medical in Turin today or tomorrow.
The transfer has been agreed for several days at a reported fee of €26m and Coach Max Allegri spoke about the Croatian as a done deal.
“It’s not that we have to replace Carlod Tevez, but rather sign players and evaluate the playing style,” said Allegri.
“Mandzukic has arrived, we have Simone Zaza, Kingsley Coman, Alvaro Morata and Paulo Dybala – all young players of great quality.
“Mandzukic scored goals in every League, has strong character, is of an international level and will do well. We signed Mandzukic because we specifically wanted him. He’s a great player and I am very happy.”
Sky Sport Italia claim the matter could finally be officialised today or at the latest tomorrow, as Mandzukic is expected to fly in for a medical and then put pen to paper.
