Massimiliano Allegri "very happy" with Mario Mandzukic capture

Massimiliano Allegri says that Mario Mandzukic is a "great player" and appears to confirm the striker's transfer to Juventus.

Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri has said that he is delighted with the signing of Mario Mandzukic.

The 29-year-old's move to the Bianconeri has not been made official by the Italian champions or his current club Atletico Madrid, but Allegri appears to have confirmed the transfer.

"It's not that we have to replace [Carlos] Tevez, but rather sign players and evaluate the playing style," he told Sky Sport Italia. "Mandzukic has arrived, we have Simone Zaza, Kingsley Coman, Alvaro Morata and Paulo Dybala – all young players of great quality.

"By the end of the transfer window I could have 10 players in the squad born after 1990.

"Mandzukic scored goals in every League, has strong character, is of an international level and will do well. We signed Mandzukic because we specifically wanted him. He's a great player and I am very happy."

Mandzukic joined Atletico from Bayern Munich last summer and scored 20 goals for the La Liga club in his debut season.
