Mario Mandzukic will not join Bayern Munich this summer after the German club decided not to make a bid for the sriker.

The Croatian international has been sidelined this summer and played a cameo role in all of the Bianconeri’s friendly matches.

German paper BILD initially reported that Bayern wanted Mandzukic as a back-up option to Robert Lewandowski next season with Juventus reportedly asking for at least €10m for the striker.

They now report that Bayern have decided against making an offer for the 33-year-old after club management decided against it.

It remains to be seen whether Mandzukic will feature for Juve next season as he’s unlikely to make the Champions League squad and will likely fall behind Paulo Dybala and Gonzalo Higuain in the pecking order.
