Juventus could reportedly sell Mario Mandzukic and bring back Gonzalo Higuain if Maurizio Sarri takes over as Coach this summer.

According to Goal.com’s Romeo Agresti, there seems to be ‘no space’ for Mandzukic in Sarri’s project for Juve.

The Croat only signed a new contract until 2021 in April and is a fan favourite in Turin, but Agresti claims the Chelsea boss wants a different option in attack.

That is where Higuain would come in, with the Bianconeri able to recall the Argentine from his loan spell at Chelsea.

That is where Higuain would come in, with the Bianconeri able to recall the Argentine from his loan spell at Chelsea.

The 31-year-old was the Bianconeri’s record signing when he arrived from Napoli in the summer of 2016.

He went on to score 55 goals in two seasons but was ousted in terms of both transfer fee and status by Cristiano Ronaldo.

Higuain subsequently linked back up with Sarri at Stamford Bridge in January, netting five times in the Premier League and winning a Europa League.
