CONFIRMED: Atletico Madrid star Mario Mandzukic signs for Juventus
JUVENTUS have completed the signing of Atletico Madrid striker Mario Mandzukic.
Mario Mandzukic has signed for Juventus
The Croatia international has moved to Turin for for a fee of £13.5million rising to £15m based on performance-related add-ons, penning a four-year contract in the process.
Mandzukic's arrival is likely to trigger Carlos Tevez's return to Argentine side Boca Juniors, despite interest from Liverpool.
The 29-year-old joined Diego Simeone's side just a year ago from Bayern Munich as a replacement for Chelsea-bound Diego Costa.
But despite scoring 20 goals in 42 appearances this season, Mandzukic has been allowed to depart the Vicente Calderon as Atletico prepare to land Porto's Jackson Martinez for £25million.
