Mandzukic having Al-Duhail medical

This would allow him to reunite with former Bianconeri teammate Medhi Benatia. There had been strong reports and confirmations the Croatia international was heading out to Qatar over the weekend to finalise his transfer.

Video has already emerged seemingly of Mandzukic visiting the hotel and on his way to the medical centre.

He had also been linked with moves within Europe, to Manchester United and Milan, but Qatar always seemed a likelier option.

MLS was an alternative too for the 33-year-old, who was told from pre-season that he was not in new Juventus coach Maurizio Sarri’s plans.
