Mario Mandzukic is signing for Al-Duhail as a free agent.

The veteran striker secured a release from his Juventus contract and has confirmed his decision to move to Qatar.

“It's impossible to summarise four and a half years in a simple goodbye," he wrote on social media. “But I hope you have witnessed my passion for this club and for this team in every single game I have played for Juventus."

“A big thank you to Mr. Allegri and Mr. [Giuseppe] Marotta for wanting me in Turin.

“I thank all the teammates I have had during these seasons. I really enjoyed every single battle with you, and we won most of these battles!

“I will not forget all the victories and trophies, the results of our quality, hard work and team spirit. A big thank you also to the staff who work behind the scenes – coaches, medical staff, physiotherapists and any other person who make sure that Juventus players are in their best conditions.

“Finally, the biggest thanks for the wonderful fans that are the real reason why the club is so big and successful – I really appreciated the support you showed me from day one. In conclusion, I have always tried to do my best for the Bianconeri, I wish you the best! And for me, it's time for a new chapter."
