Mario Mandzukic is set for a £17.5million move to Atletico Madrid, according to reports from Germany.
German newspaper Bild have reported that the Bayern Munich forward is on the verge of signing a five-year deal with the Spanish club.
The 28-year-old signed for the German giants in 2012, and went on to score 48 goals in 88 games over two successful seasons.
The
28-year-old indicated his desire to leave the club earlier this summer,
telling Croatian newspaper Sportske Novosti before the World Cup: 'I
met (Bayern chairman) Karl Heinz Rummenigge before the (German) cup
final and told him I wanted to leave the club.
'I've
had a fantastic time at Bayern. It's a great club and I never thought
I'd want to leave, and especially not at this point in time.
'But, let's be honest, I cannot play to my strengths under Guardiola's style - no matter how hard I try.
'I
realised that after the 1-0 defeat by Real Madrid in the Champions
League semi-final first leg and, that being the case, it's best for all
parties that we go our separate ways.
'Guardiola is an outstanding coach and I wish him and everyone else at the club all the best in the future.
'Bayern and the club's fans will remain the best and most emotional chapter in my career.'
