Juventus striker rejects Paris Saint-Germain approach

 

Juventus striker Mario Mandzukic has rejected an offer from Paris Saint-Germain, claims Gianluca Di Marzio.

 

Mandzukic has been heavily linked with a move to PSG in the last few weeks after dropping out of favour under new Juventus head coach Maurizio Sarri.

 

PSG have a crisis in attack with Kylian Mbappe, Edison Cavani and Neymar all currently unavailable.

 

Thomas Tuchel had hoped to prise Mandzukic away from Juventus to ease his woes up front but the 33-year-old has snubbed their advances.

 

Mandzukic now faces the prospect of being cut from Juventus’ squad for the Champions League, along with Daniele Rugani, following Gonzalo Higuain’s return.

Higuain spent last season on loan at AC Milan and Chelsea but Juventus have failed to find a club willing to sign the 31-year-old permanently this summer.

 

Manduzkic, who has spent the last four years at Juventus, has started 102 of a possible 153 league matches for Juventus and has only hit double figures in a single-league campaign on one occasion (10 goals in 2015/16).
