Sevilla to rival Manchester United for Mario Mandzukic in January?

Sevilla will reportedly battle with Manchester United for the signature of Juventus striker Mario Mandzukic over the January transfer window.

Reports have stated that the Red Devils have an agreement in place with Mandzukic, who is valued at around £10m by the Old Lady.

The 33-year-old is not part of Maurizio Sarri's plans at Juventus this season and has not played a single minute of action so far this term.

According to Marca, Sevilla manager Julen Lopetegui is keen to take advantage of Mandzukic's situation by submitting a bid for the striker in January.

Sevilla have struggled for goals this season, with Javier Hernandez, Rony Lopes and Luuk De Jong all so far failing to fill the void left by Wissam Ben Yedder.

Juventus sporting director Fabio Paratici confirmed earlier this month that Mandzukic was free to find a new club ahead of the January window.
