According to Fabrizio Romano<\/a>, former Juventus <\/a>striker Mario Mandzukic<\/a> is an option for Serie A<\/a> leaders AC Milan.<\/a> The Italian club are back on top of Serie A for the first time in what seems like forever.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Italian’s have already benefitted from the experience of Zlatan Ibrahimovic<\/a>. Now, they could be about to add another veteran in Mandzukic to what could be a title-winning side.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Croatian knows what it takes to win the famous Scudetto- winning the trophy on four occasions with Juventus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mandzukic an Option for AC Milan<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Potential for a Bargain Deal<\/span><\/h3>\n

As it stands, Mario Mandzukic is a free agent; meaning any club can secure his services for the bargain price of free.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Croatian has previously played for both the aforementioned Juventus and Bayern Munich<\/a>– where he won one Champions League<\/a> trophy, two Bundesliga<\/a> titles and two German Cups.<\/span><\/p>\n

The fact is, should Milan pursue a deal, they’ll be getting a striker who has featured at the top of European football for the entirety of his illustrious career.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, at 34-years-old, he could prove to be the difference-maker between Milan success and Milan failure this season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Deals Also Progressing for Meite and Tomori<\/span><\/h3>\n

Aside from Mandzukic, Milan are also reportedly<\/a> progressing with deals for Soualiho Meite on loan from Torino<\/a> with an option to buy, and a loan deal for Chelsea<\/a>‘s out-of-favour centre-back Fikayo Tomori<\/a> should a deal for Mohamed Simakan collapse.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With options seemingly aplenty, incomings should be expected at the San Siro- perhaps title-winnings arrivals. As it stands, the Milan club sit top of Serie A- three points clear of rivals Inter<\/a>– and primed and ready to take the Serie A crown once more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

No matter what happens this season, though, it is clear that Milan are on their way back to the top.<\/span><\/p>\n
