Arsenal are ready to offer Atletico Madrid £26 million for Mario Mandzukic before the transfer deadline day.
The 28-year-old Croat made the move to Spain from Bayern Munich last summer but the arrival of Fernando Torres has seen the striker drop down the pecking order at the Vicente Calderon.
Reports in Spain, as claimed by the Daily Express, no suggest Diego Simeone could look to offload Mandzukic to either Arsenal or Manchester City before the transfer window closes.
Arsenal have been linked with a move in the Croatia international in the past and with Arsene Wenger already bringing in two new players, the Frenchman could rekindle his interest in Mandzukic as he continues to strengthen his squad.
It remains to be seen whether Arsenal will table a bid for the Atletico forward, but the Gunners have the upper hand on City as they could offer him more first-team opportunities than at the Etihad. In addition, it is uncertain whether £26 million would be enough for Atletico to sell a player they purchased last summer for just over £19 million.
Will Arsenal be able to pull this potential deal off before the window shuts on Monday? More importantly, would he be a welcomed addition to the team?
Let us know what you think below.
the deadine is on mother,arsen wenger need to sign madzuki and one DM before transfer window shut down. Up gunners!!!
Seriously are you all crazy or are you guys reading this with eyes shot this sanders guys is always giving us bullish transfer information either him or metro are full of shxxt I bet my life on this its pure rubbish

I’m urging Mr arsenal Wenger should nt miss the opportunity of signing Madzuki. He is great.
Please Wenger sign Madsuki we need this type of striker in our team plzzzzzz
That is avery great signing, lets not miss this out.
Nonsense, great signing my foot
someone who is poor enough to be benched by dead Torres, how come he is now good enough for arsenal?? U think our club is a dumping ground?? If we need to buy a striker,then we should just go ahead and buy d one DAT LL give us the display we are hoping for. The vampire type of striker.dat LL drink goals like water. The vanpersie type(minus d injury and betrayal part though). Not SM outcast. Someone who just moved and is already been benched by another new player DAT is not even d Alexis type is definitely not good enough for Arsenal.
Plz mr wenger get me mandzuric is a very great striker I need him in my killer squad……………..thanks for doing that quickly
please get the striker I am sure he will help arsenal
i dot thick wenger can buy another striker when he iz having welback and olive g .it iz a total lie
Arsen wenger is an intelligent man who know what d team wants. We don’t need a dead player in Arsenal, we want world class players like Suarez not Giroud brothers!!! No need for Marzuki, because he is just like podoski. We need DM for now!! Dead or Alive to add to Coq, thanks.
Anyway mandzukic is a gr8 player. If wenger can sign him it will boost our team n we will av enough player upfront in case of injury. Up gunners
