Manchester United line up Jan Oblak swoop

Manchester United are reportedly eyeing up a move for Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak as a replacement for David de Gea.

A report from Fichajes claims that David de Gea could be on his way out of the club at the end of the season when his contract expires. Jan Oblak has been identified as a replacement, and it will be interesting to see if Atletico Madrid are willing to sell the player.

The 30-year-old Slovenian goalkeeper is reportedly keen on a move away from La Liga club Atletico Madrid especially if they miss out on UEFA Champions League qualification. Manchester United will be an attractive destination for the goalkeeper.

The Red Devils are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they have shown massive improvement since the arrival of Erik ten Hag. They have already won the League Cup trophy this season, and Manchester United will be hoping to challenge for the league title and the Champions League next season.

Oblak has proven his quality at a high level over the years, and he has the ability to thrive in the Premier League as well. The 30-year-old is at the peak of his career and will feel that this is the right moment for him to pursue an exciting new challenge. He will be looking to showcase his qualities in the Premier League next season if the transfer goes through.

The goalkeeper has a long-term contract at the Spanish club, and they could look to demand a premium for his services. Manchester United certainly have the financial resources to pay big money for Oblak. And it remains to be seen how the situation develops.

Manchester United have not been able to agree on a new deal with David de Gea. And it will be interesting to see how the situation develops. The Spaniard has been an important player for Manchester United since joining the club from Atletico Madrid back in 2011, and he could still be an important member of the dressing room with his winning experience, mentality, and leadership qualities.

Meanwhile, the report claims that Jan Oblak is not the only goalkeeper Manchester United are looking at. They could look to make a move for Brentford goalkeeper David Raya or FC Porto goalkeeper Diogo Costa at the end of the season.
