Atlético will make changes to its squad this summer for the next season. And one of the positions about which there will be rumors will be the goalkeeper. Jan Oblak has lost his status as an irreplaceable player and Atlético could listen to offers that could come for the goalkeeper. The situation has changed somewhat regarding Oblak, basic before and now not so much. Oblak goes on the market and we will have to see what happens in the coming months.
Atlético will, to the extent that its finances make it possible, renew its squad. The idea of the sports management led by Carlos Bucero, and with Andrea Berta as sports director, is to get rid of very high chips. And Oblak has one of the highest of the current squad: ten million net. He has a contract until 2028 and his market value is 30 million euros. His clause is 120 million.
For many seasons the Slovenian goalkeeper was the object of desire of the big Premier League clubs. And Atlético flatly refused an exit. And again. He was not the red and white club’s response to the interest of big clubs like Manchester United or Liverpool. Now the club would be willing to listen to offers for the goalkeeper.
And Oblak knows it. He is aware that at Atlético you can count the essentials on the fingers of one hand. This past summer he had an important offer from Saudi, but he didn’t leave. Now he himself doesn’t have it. England would be the preferred destination for the Atlético goalkeeper in the event that he had to leave. He has always liked the Premier League, although he also prioritized staying at Atlético and winning red and white titles.
Oblak has played 441 games with the Atlético shirt. He has been at the Cívitas Metropolitano club for nine seasons and has become one of the club’s historic players.. He has won a League, a Spanish Super Cup, a European Super Cup and a Europa League. He has been the goalkeeper with the fewest goals scored in the Spanish championship five times, equaling the record of two other historical goalkeepers, such as Ramallets and Victor Valdés.
One of the goalkeepers that I like is Mamardashvili, the Valencia goalkeeper. The Georgian, 23 years old, has been having good seasons at the Valencian club and could leave in this next market. His market value is 35 million and Valencia will ask for around 25 million for him. The Valencian club needs to sell and the goalkeeper could be one of the first to leave.
Atlético is not the only team that is very attentive to this goalkeeper. He has a great poster and Valencia knows that they will have to get rid of him, although they want to do it at a good price. At 23 years old he is a goalkeeper not only for the future but for the present. A goalkeeper for several seasons. A young goalkeeper, but already with experience and for whom the 20-25 million that it would cost can be amortized.
