Oblak wants Manchester United move

 

Jan Oblak is the latest big name player seeking a move away from Atletico Madrid this summer, claims ESPN. 

 

Oblak only signed a new long-term Atletico deal in April but believes promises made by the club have been broken.

 

Atletico have already lost Diego Godin and Lucas Hernandez this summer and have confirmed Antoine Griezmann will also leave.

 

Manchester City are pursuing Atletico midfielder Rodrigo and now they could lose Oblak, who has a €120m release clause.

 

Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain are both keen on Oblak, who has developed into one of the world’s best in his position in the last few years.

 

It has now emerged that Oblak, who supported United as a child, would prefer a move to Old Trafford over PSG.

 

United are preparing for David de Gea’s departure, as the Spain international has entered the final 12 months of his current deal.

 

 

PSG are more likely to sign De Gea over Oblak and that would pave the way for United to have a free run at the 26-year-old.

 

One major stumbling block for United will be the fee required to sign Oblak, as Atletico will demand his release clause is met.

 

United have proven unwilling to break the bank for a central defender so it remains to be seen whether the Red Devils would shatter the record fee for a goalkeeper to get Oblak.

 

Oblak has boasted the best save success in Europe’s top five leagues in each of the last two campaigns.
