Juventus are said to be monitoring the progress of RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner.
The 22-year-old is one of the most highly-rated youngsters in Germany, after scoring 13 goals and providing seven assists in the Bundesliga last season.
According to Calciomercato, Werner has been identified by Juventus as a strong candidate to be Mario Mandzukic's eventual replacement.
Mandzukic signed a new contract extension in Turin last year and his deal runs until 2020.
But with the Croatian ace now 32, Juve are understood to be planning for the long-term future.
After netting three times in six games for finalists Croatia at the World Cup, Mandzukic has scored twice in his first three Serie A matches this season.
That is already 40 per cent of the tally he achieved last term when he only struck five goals in 32 Serie A games.
Werner was linked with interest from Real Madrid in the summer but made it clear he was happy in Leipzig.

I thought I just read that the president of Juventus adores Mandzukic.... then how come they are looking for a replacement for the beloved one??? Football is modern slavery... interest interest and only interest counts.
He needs a replacement after he retires so they are looking into timo

Mandzukic is old Werner is still young. I think 22 or something by the time Mandzukic retires werner will be young and porbably world class level

Germans @22yrs do not leave their country unless they are immigrants(ozil/khedira,boateng,sane,etc). Their minds are always thinking of Bayern munich after that they can go on to other countries at a mid+ stage of their careers.

He will not be next year or the next, or in 5 years to a club like Juventus, Bayern, Real or similar. go. Similar effect as Max Meyer, completely overrated, in the Nati absolutely no performance and lack of charisma. That's certainly enough for a good contract and high transfer from a middle class club from England, but nothing more

Juventus want to sell Mandzukic because he would not be a selfless player like Benzema! Now they need a junior player who will always thank Ronaldo for giving an assist! Hala Perez tho

They should put ronaldo as a striker and not buy anyone, once ronaldo starts scoring he'll never stop
