CROATIAN STRIKER MARIO Mandzukic has joined Qatari club Al-Duhail SC from Juventus on what’s understood to be an 18-month contract.
The 33-year-old had been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United since the summer but will instead follow the money to the Middle East, where he’ll line out for Al-Duhail SC in the Qatar Stars League — the Gulf state’s highest professional league.
Juve are expected to earn €5.5m from the sale.
Mandzukic spent four and a half years with the Bianconeri, winning four Serie A titles, three Coppa Italia and one Italian Super Cup. He scored 44 goals in 162 appearances during his spell with the Italian champions.
