Now a report in Cadena Cope has outlined how Galician club Celta are monitoring his situation and planning an ambitious move to secure his signing in January.
The Croatian netted two goals in 10 appearances in the Qatar Stars League after leaving Italian champions Juventus in the summer of 2019.
He has netted over 200 goals across a club career which included stints at NK Zagreb, Dinamo Zagreb, Wolfsburg, Bayern Munich, Atleti, Juve and in the Middle East.
Mandzukic also hit 33 goals in 89 international appearances, helping his nation Croatia to the 2018 World Cup final.
Celta only have three established forwards in their squad including captain Iago Aspas along with Nolito and Santi Mina.
