The Bianconeri have further bolstered their forward
line, confirming the transfer of the Atletico Madrid
forward on a four-year deal
Serie A champions Juventus have completed the
signing of striker Mario Mandzukic from Atletico
Madrid for a fee of €19 million.
Mandzukic, 29, only joined Atletico from
Bundesliga side Bayern Munich in July 2014 and
went on to score 20 goals in all competitions for
the Spanish club last season.
The former Wolfsburg man shunned interest from
the Premier League club to put pen to paper on a
four-year deal with the beaten Champions League
finalists.
As expected, the Croatia international passed
Monday's medical leaving Juventus to conclude
the €19m deal - split in instalment payments over
three years - with €2m in bonuses to be
potentially paid to Atletico.
Mandzukic's arrival comes amid speculation that
Carlos Tevez could leave Juventus, with boyhood
club Boca Juniors expected to sign the Argentine
after the ongoing Copa America concludes.
The transfer of Mandzukic marks the second move
Juve have made to bolster their forward this
month line,following the signing of Pablo Dybala
from Palermo for a fee that could rise to €40m.
