Croatia forward Mario Mandzukic is undergoing a medical ahead of his proposed move from Atletico Madrid to Juventus, the Serie A champions have announced.
Mandzukic has agreed a four-year contract with the club, according to Sky Italia, and will leave Spain after one year with Atletico Madrid.
"Mario Mandzukic is this morning undergoing a routine medical ahead of his proposed transfer to Juventus from Atletico Madrid," a club statement read.
"The 29-year-old forward will take his first tests at the city's Clinica Fornaca di Sessant, before completing the procedure at the Istituto di Medicina dello Sport medical centre."
Mandzukic joined Atletico last summer from Bayern Munich and scored 20 goals in 43 games for the Spanish side.
Juventus are looking to strengthen their attacking line with Carlos Tevez expected to leave the club this summer.
Tevez, Juve's top scorer in the past two seasons, is under contract with the club for another year but is keen to return home to Argentina, with former club Boca Juniors keen to acquire his services.
Juventus won the domestic double - Serie A and Coppa Italia - for the first time since 1995 under first-year coach Massimiliano Allegri last season and also reached the Champions League final before losing 3-1 to Barcelona.
