The Croatia striker touched down in Turin this evening ahead of his anticipated move to the Bianconeri.
He was linked with a move to Manchester United, with Louis van Gaal keen to secure a possible replacement for Radamel Falcao.
The Atletico Madrid striker's future has been the subject of speculation, and manager Diego Simeone claimed the striker 'annoyed him easily'.

Mandzukic also is excited by his new challenge and told the club's official website: "I feel very good, the city is nice and I was here two or three times to play. It’s a nice city and I hope I will be happy here.
