That animal looks seriously unwell in the first pic.

Looks like a painted cardboard box.

Why is he not playing? Is he injured?

_______________________________________________________

“Mandzukic has a muscle problem and he has stayed at Milanello to train during these period of international break. To date we do not know if he will be available for the upcoming match against Sampdoria on 3 April. His recovery would be important because coach Stefano Pioli would have at his disposal a player of quality that could be alternated with Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Furthermore, his recovery is important to understand the future for next season. The Croatian striker has a six-months contract of 1.8 million euros with automatic renewal in the event of AC Milan’s return in Champions League. At the moment Milan look well positioned for a place in the top four and the management must figure out what to do with Mandzukic.

The Rossoneri need to understand if Mario can be the right alternative. Milan would like a player that’s ready to contribute for the squad, but if the Croatian remains, another striker is not needed. Maldini and Massara will carefully consider in recent weeks whether Milan can count on Mandzukic. It will be important for these last 10 days, but also for the future market.

Paolo Maldini has a very difficult task in his hands but everything revolves around the name of the Croatian centre forward. With Mandzukic turning 35 and Ibrahimovic is 40, there is also an age problem in attack. Between March and April, clubs make their first steps to set up the summer mercato. In the other roles Milan are in good shape, the attack needs to be fixed“.

He does not have an automatic renewal in case of CL, Antonio Vitiello tweeted yesterday that there's no such clause in his contract. However if we do end up in CL, we have an option to extend the contract for another year

To be honest , unless he gets a bunch of goals before the season ends, I don't think it's a good idea. We already have a 40yr old Ibra, Leao is iffy. I would rather we splurge on Belotti , someone who can do it in Serie A now, even with a struggling team.

I think Mario is a solid player, but if he can't remain fit now, he is only gettiing older and I don't want him and Ibra to leave one season leaving an undeveloped Leao as our guy.

It's been like four games since I said I hope he starts delivering soon.

Well, I hope that now as well. We need you Mario, score five goals and provide two assists before seasons end.

we got him to help during 2 games per week period (serieA and el)
3 months passed and he has 160 minutes for us

season ends in 5 weeks, pretty much fail as a signing
that may cost us a el elimination against weak manU

but from all signings/loans for this season we have done its only this really bad.

No reason really to extend this guy, even if he scores in the next matches.

Mario Mandzukic has given up his March salary due to being unavailable through injury absence and President Paolo Scaroni has given the money to the Fondazione Milan.

Chapeau. He follows in the footsteps of Redondo and Kaka in his second spell.

What a smart and decent move. Respect can never be given a dollar amount. I would not blame Mario for getting us knocked out of EL and haning on to the second place by a thread. There was no guarantee he would score lost of goals had he been fit. That would be dumb speculation and guessing. Injuries are bound to happen and his injury happened at the worst time. Rather blame the people who brought him here because they could have brought on another CF. Blame the one who did not sign up a ready and young wild card CF for EL.

Very classy move.

Not many have done that.
