Oblak Discusses Atletico Madrid

Oblak claims he could leave Atletico Madrid were they forced into player sales with Man Utd understood to be keen as they consider their next moves with David de Gea potentially used as bait in any transfer offer.

Jan Oblak has opened the door to an Atletico Madrid exit insisting he could leave should the club need to sell players.

The Slovenian is renowned as one of the best goalkeepers in the world and just helped the Spaniards claim the La Liga title.

Despite that he has been linked with the Wanda Metropolitano exit door as the likes of Manchester United circle.

Atletico, like all clubs, have felt the financial impact of the pandemic and may have to make changes as a result.

Oblak concedes he doesn’t know what the future holds and admits the club may have to cash in on him.

He told Marca : “I can’t see the future, neither myself nor the club nor anyone can.

David de Gea could be shown the door this summer;

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s goalkeeper situation is far from clear with four shot stoppers currently on the books.

Sergio Romero and Lee Grant are set to leave but one of Dean Henderson or David de Gea could follow.

The latter, who was usurped by Henderson as first choice before coming back in for the Europa League final, has reportedly been included in an offer to buy Oblak.

The Sun claim that the Slovenian is United’s ideal goalkeeper and will cost them around £70m, but including De Gea, who was formerly at Atletico, could lower that fee.

United are paying the Spaniard £375,000-a-week and are keen to get those wages off their bill, especially if De Gea is going to play second fiddle going forward.
