"Real" increasingly interested in "Bayern" forward M. Mandžukić © EuroFootball.com

"Real" Madrid is showing increasing interest in Bayern Munich's striker Mario Mandžukič. Recently, reports in the press have started to appear, stating that the Croatian, who joined the Bavarian team last summer, is planning to part ways with the club, even though he is a key player in the starting lineup. It is not ruled out that the relationship between M. Mandžukič and Bayern coach Pep Guardiola is strained and the striker does not fit into the coach's tactics. "Real" said goodbye to Gonzalo Higuain this summer, so they are actively looking for a replacement for the Argentinian. For a long time, Luis Suarez was linked with the royal club, but the Uruguayan will most likely choose London's Arsenal. Reportedly, the 27-year-old footballer, who scored 22 goals last season, could be sold for a price ranging up to 20 million euros."
