Juventus could face competition from Russian side Zenit St Petersburg as they look to land Atletico Madrid forward Mario Mandzukic.
La Vecchia Signora have been linked with Mandzukic despite the club’s management not being fully convinced by the idea of the transfer, but the move might not happen altogether due to the serious interest being shown by the Russian champions.
Mundo Deportivo are reporting that Zenit could make an offer of around €27 million for the 29-year-old which Juventus would have to beat.
Mandzukic has also been linked with a move to English Premier League side Manchester United, as well as Juventus’ rivals AC Milan in the summer.
The Croatian international joined Atletico Madrid from Bayern Munich at the start of the 2014/15 season and has scored 20 times in 43 appearances for the club.
