The Croatian striker has enjoyed a superb career, starring for the likes of Dinamo Zagreb, VFL Wolfsburg, Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid and Juventus, before he departed to Al-Duhail Sports Club in Qatar in 2019.
Mandzukic represents a decent option for AC, given his knowledge of Serie A and his experience having scored over 100 league goals in some of the elite footballing nations.
At 34 years of age, it is hoped that the player can still offer something to the Italian table toppers. He will likely provide back up to Zlatan Ibrahimovic at the San Siro.
