Juventus striker Mario Mandzukic is backing their move for Bayern Munich midfielder Mario Gotze.
Gotze is being linked with a move away this week.
Ex-teammate Mandzukic said: “I've played with him [at Bayern], he could play in any team.
“He's a player of great quality, and a good guy.
“As for [Andrea] Pirlo and [Carlos] Tevez [who have left], they're great players, who any team would miss.
“But as some leave, others arrive. Juve are always thinking ahead, there are new recruits, fresh faces and I hope we can be as strong as last season.
“Juventus are used to winning, winning titles and achieving things, and I hope that I can give my contribution to that."
