Jan Oblak Becomes Manchester United’s Target to Replace David De Gea

DBasia.news –  Manchester United began to anticipate the days without David De Gea in the future. Even according to ESPN, the Red Devils are ready to redeem the purchase clause of Atletico Madrid goalkeeper, Jan Oblak.

David De Gea’s position as Manchester United’s first goalkeeper began to falter. The Spanish national team player blundered in the last two games against Manchester City and Chelsea. Inevitably, Man United’s management wants to find a new goalkeeper.

Manchester United’s first choice fell on Jan Oblak. The 26-year-old goalkeeper has a release clause worth 120 million euros in his contract. Manchester United believes that amount will not disrupt the team’s financial balance.

Indeed, Jan Oblak only extended the contract in April. At present, the goalkeeper is bound by a contract until June 2023.

However, Oblak reportedly did not want to last long at Atletico. The goalkeeper was disappointed by Los Rojiblancos’ stagnant achievements. He and Antoine Griezmann want to change clubs with greater prestige.

Atletico Madrid had difficulty speaking at domestic and European levels. Diego Simeone’s polished team is struggling to match Barcelona’s dominance in LaLiga. Moreover, Real Madrid are ready to threaten next season.

In addition to Jan Oblak, Atletico Madrid is also threatened to lose Diego Godin, Janfran and Felipe Luis. The three players will end their contract period in June 2019. In addition, Atletico have also sold Lucas Fernandez to Bayern Munich.
