Goalkeeper Jan Oblak apparently wants to leave Atletico Madrid this summer. ESPN reports that the Slovenian sees bloodletting in the Rojiblancos’ squad as a broken promise. Manchester United is considered the favorite on a commitment.
The Madriders lose important support in summer with Antoine Griezmann, Lucas Hernandez, Diego Godin, Filipe Luis and Juanfran. Oblak therefore already sent a warning to the club. “I will stay as long as their ambitions match mine,” said the 26-year-old in early June at Ekipa.
In April, he extended his contract with the Spanish runners-up until 2023, when he was promised that the team would be further strengthened to play for the title in LaLiga and the Champions League.
Oblak now sees this promise in danger, which is why, according to the report, he is already busy saying goodbye. The preferred goal is Manchester United, where the Spanish national goalkeeper David de Gea is no longer uncontroversial after a few failures. The 21-times national player Oblak is considered a big fan of the Red Devils.
But in addition to United, the French champion Paris Saint-Germain is also in the draw, where after Gianluigi Buffon’s departure there are still question marks on the goalkeeper position. Oblak’s exit clause is 120 million euros.
