Jan Oblak, a Slovenian custodian, is being pursued by Manchester United to take Andre Onana’s place at Old Trafford.
David De Gea, the Premier League’s Golden Glove winner from the previous season, was free to leave the Red Devils in the summer when his contract expired.
The Old Trafford team spent over 50 million euros to sign Inter Milan’s Onana as his replacement.
The Cameroonian international, nevertheless, has struggled in goal and has severely hurt Manchester United with poor decision-making.
In such a case, sources suggest that the Red Devils would like to trade the African stopper for Jan Oblak of Atletico Madrid.
In an exclusive report, Todo Fichajes, a Spanish source, reported that the Rojiblancos are open to receiving offers for the 31-year-old star.
Man Utd is reportedly putting together an offer for £38.5 million (45 million euros), which might be sufficient to entice the former Benfica player.
Oblak has been a great player for the Colchoneros in La Liga. In the 2015–16 season, he was named the top goalie.
The 60-cap player was also voted La Liga’s Most Valuable Player after Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid won the championship in the 2020–21 season.
Man Utd needs to find a permanent solution to their goalkeeping dilemma, and a player of Jan Oblak’s calibre might be the answer.
Do you think Man Utd should make a £38.5 million offer to sign him?
