Mandzukic does not want Borussia Dortmund move

Mandzukic does not want Borussia Dortmund move

Juventus striker Mario Mandzukic is reportedly against the idea of joining Borussia Dortmund on a permanent basis this summer.

Mandzukic has been an important player for the bianconeri ever since he joined the club from Atletico Madrid and has garnered the reputation of being a big-game player. But the arrival of Maurizio Sarri at Juve could see the Croatian leave the Turin side.

Sky Sports claim that both Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are interested in bringing Mandzukic back to the Bundesliga but the striker doesn't want to move to BVB this summer.

While he would want to leave Juve, he would prefer a move back to Bayern over a potential move to Dortmund because of his respect for the Bavarian side and Uli Hoeness.

Before fully deciding to leave Juve though, Mandzukic wants to convince Sarri of his abilities. His priority is to stay but if Sarri doesn't see him as a part of the side next season, he would like to leave.
