Atletico Madrid striker Mario Mandzukic would reportedly rather join Juventus than Manchester United this summer as both clubs pursue his signature.

The 29-year-old, whose current contract with the Colchoneros is set to expire in June 2018, has been linked with a transfer away from the Spanish club in recent weeks despite only playing one season with them and it seems like he may now have a future in Turin, especially with Carlos Tevez expected to make his departure to Boca Juniors soon.

According to the Daily Express, both Juventus and Manchester United have confirmed their interest in the Croatian international, though the striker has apparently already begun talks with the Bianconeri based on his own preference to join the reigning Serie A champions over the Red Devils.

Mandzukic, who arrived at Atletico Madrid from Bayern Munich in July 2014, managed to score 12 goals and provide five assists in his 28 Primera Division appearances last term.
