The Slovenian goalkeeper will not complete the decade with the Colchonero team
It was in the summer market of 2014 when the Slovenian goalkeeper Jan Oblak arrived at Atletico Madrid as one of the top signings in LaLiga Santander. Since then the meta has become one of the most valuable players in the game. Madrid teamand Cholo Simeone hopes to have him for a long time.
The big problem is that the contract of the Slovenian goalkeeper with the red and white entity expires in the next summer market, and there is no sign of a renewal. To that we add the downturn in the footballer’s performance, which has been quite remarkable. Still, the coaching staff led by the Argentine wants to give him a chance to extend his contract, but Oblak himself doesn’t want to.
Jan Oblak will leave Atlético in this same winter market
This is how they have decided at the Colchonero club if the 29-year-old goalkeeper does not renew before the World Cup break at the end of this year. If by that date the renewal is not on Atlético’s desk, Andrea Berta himself will be in charge of looking for a good offer that allows the Madrid team to get a good return for the pass from the goal.
For reasons of time, Atlético can no longer demand the 100-kilo clause that they asked for a couple of seasons ago. However, the sports director would have already valued Oblak’s departure at a figure close to 30 million euros. In the Premier League they hope to find a team that is willing to put up the money, and from there they intend to sign their replacement.
The Atlético coach already knows who will replace Jan Oblak
And speaking of the Premier League, the Slovenian’s replacement also plays in this league and it would be an Argentine goalkeeper. We are talking about the Aston Villa goalkeeper, Emiliano el Dibu Martínez. Although manager Steven Gerrard is hesitant to let go of his starting goalkeeper, a good offer would turn things around at Villa Park.
The South American goalkeeper’s contract with the villainous club is signed until 2027 and the base price of this is valued at 28 million euros. An offer close to this figure could land in the offices of Aston Villa, product of the sale of Jan Oblak for the 30 kilos that Berta demands. Will Dibu return to LaLiga Santander and sign for the Colchonero club?
