Croatian forward, Mario Mandzukic has now confirmed that he would be leaving AC Milan at the end of his six-month contract.
The 35-year-old has played for a host of teams which include Juventus, Bayern Munich, Al-Duhail and joined AC Milan as cover for Zlatan Ibrahimovic but made only 11 appearances due to muscular problems which saw him score no goals for the club.
Mario posted an appreciation on his Instagram page saying, “It was a pleasure to play for AC Milan. I am thankful to the club management for giving me the opportunity, to the coaching staff for their dedicated work and to my teammates who are not only excellent players but a great group of guys”.
“I am happy that we have managed to get this great club back to Champions League where it belongs and I wish everybody at the club only the best in the future”.
Mandzukic retired from international football when Croatia lost the 2018 World Cup final, then left Juventus for Al-Duhail in 2019, but departed the Qatari side by mutual consent last July.
He signed a six-month contract with an option for an additional season, making headlines in March when he gave up his salary for the month after not playing a single game because of injury.
