Mandzukic has adapted to a new position under Massimiliano Allegri in the second half of the campaign, moving to a role as a wide attacker as opposed to a centre-forward.
He scored in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final win over Monaco and netted in Saturday's 3-0 victory over Crotone, a result which sealed a sixth consecutive league title for Juve.
"Juventus are delighted to announce that Mario Mandzukic has renewed his contract until 30 June 2020, extending a journey that began in July 2015," read the club's statement.
