Mario MandzukicJuventus may find hopes of securing the signature of Atletico Madrid striker Mario Mandzukic dashed by emerging interest from Wolfsburg.

The Serie A champions are contending with prevalent doubts over the futures of attacking trio Alvaro Morata, Fernando Llorente and Carlos Tevez, with the Argentine of the three looking particularly likely to move on.

According to AS, Croatian international Mandzukic is top of the Bianconeri’s list to bolster their forward line ahead of the new season, but they also state German Bundesliga outfit Wolfsburg are now making a major play for his services.

The 29-year-old left the Wolves for Bayern Munich in 2012, prior to a switch to Spain two years later, and could return to his old stomping ground in place of giant Dutchman Bas Dost, who is expected to join English Premier League club Newcastle United in the coming days.
