The future of outstanding Slovenian goalkeeper Jan Oblak at Atletico Madrid appears to be in doubt, and a wave of speculation has erupted suggesting that this could be his last season at the Wanda Metropolitano. The reason behind this uncertainty is the reported interest of Manchester United and an attractive offer that could change Oblak’s career path.

 

Although Jan Oblak extended his contract with Atletico a few months ago, the terms and conditions of the agreement could pave the way for a possible exit. It has been mentioned that Atletico are ready to negotiate the goalkeeper’s transfer if there is a big offer.

Manchester United has signed Andre Onana with the intention of choosing him as the team’s number 1 goalkeeper this season, to replace David De Gea. However, the Cameroonian player’s performance was not as expected and the English club is looking for an alternative solution.

 

In that context, the choice of Jan Oblak has become extremely attractive for Manchester United. According to Todo Fichajes, the Red Devils have been trying to convince the Slovenian goalkeeper to join their ranks for many years. The possibility of signing a contract in the winter market is on the table, although Atletico wants to wait until the summer to resolve all negotiations.

 

Also according to the above source, Jan Oblak has agreed to let the English club begin negotiations on signing a contract with him. The 30-year-old believes this could be the right time to take the next step in his career, which could very well come to fruition at the end of the current season.

Oblak’s market value is currently around 35 million Euros, but Atletico Madrid would not be willing to let him go for less than 50 million Euros, despite the fact that Oblak’s release clause is more than double that figure. .

Jan Oblak’s possible transfer to Manchester United has become one of the hottest topics in the transfer market and could mark the end of an era for Atletico Madrid’s greatest goalkeeper in history.
