Mario Mandzukic (Croatia):Juventus are interested in signing Atletico Madrid striker Mario Mandzukic this summer, but will have to be prepared for a transfer battle with Arsenal and Manchester City, with both English Premier League clubs also ready to offer big money for the Croatian.

The Bianconeri will let Spainish international Fernando Llorente leave the club at the end of the season, with 28-year-old Mandzukic rumoured to be Massimiliano Allegri’s first choice replacement.

El Mundo Deportivo are reporting the former Bayern Munich striker would be interested in a move to Serie A with Juventus, the club who have already tried to sign the player before his transfer to Atletico in Spain.

The forward has scored 17 goals during 57 international appearances for Croatia and would command a fee in the region of €30 million, Mandzukic also netted during Munich’s 2-1 2013 Champions League Final victory over German rivals Borussia Dortmund.
