Mario MandzukicJuventus have already begun thinking about life after Carlos Tevez, with the Bianconeri lining up a host of potential replacements for the departing striker.

Tevez’s return to Boca Juniors seems but a formality now, after having expressed his desire to return home and Juventus sporting director Giuseppe Marotta acquiescing to the Argentine’s wishes.

Juventus have begun looking into potential alternatives, with Mario Mandzukic, Edinson Cavani heading the Bianconeri’s shortlist according to Tuttosport. The Turin-based media add that Robin Van Persie and Stevan Jovetic are also amongst the candidates.

Mandzukic looks the likeliest of deals however, with Juventus looking set to meet Atletico Madrid’s €23 million valuation and the player’s €4 million per year wages according to Tuttosport. There would already be a medical scheduled on Monday for the Croatian striker, according to Sky Sport Italia.

The 29-year-old striker arrived at Atletico Madrid just last season, scoring 12 goals in La Liga.
