Besiktas to bid for Mario Mandzukic

Turkish giants Besiktas are planning an ambitious swoop for Juventus forward Mario Mandzukic, Fanatik can reveal.

The Black Eagles have made the Croatian striker their number one target and they are ready to offer him a lucrative contract to leave Turin.

At the same time, Besiktas hope to find an agreement with Juventus and they will offer around €10 million for his services.

The Bianconeri will probably demand more considering that the 30-year-old has another two years left on his contract in Turin.

While Mandzukic is currently a first team regular at Juventus, he is unlikely to be offered a new deal any time soon, meaning a summer exit could be on the cards.

The Croatia star has been surprisingly used on the wing this season, which is probably the main reason why he only scored 5 goals in 27 Serie A games, after bagging 10 league goals last term.
