Juventus forward Mario Mandzukic has reportedly turned down a move to Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain, according to Goal.

The Croatian star emerged as a prime candidate to join the French champions after injuries to Kylian Mbappe and Edinson Cavani triggered them to search for a back-up attacker, but the 33-year-old will not be moving to France as he will wait until the January window to decide his future.

Mandzukic was not named to Juventus’s Champions League squad, with the Italian side opting to use Gonzalo Higuain, Paulo Dybala, and Cristiano Ronaldo in the attack.

Though the eight-time defending Scudetto champions were willing to offload Mandzukic this summer, the player has opted to stay to ponder his future until the middle of the season.
