Arsenal target Jan Oblak admits he doesn't know if he'll stay at Atletico Madrid next season
Arsenal target Jan Oblak admits he is unsure whether he will still be at Atletico Madrid next season ahead of a transfer window that could see a host of Europe’s top goalkeepers on the move.
Oblak and Roma goalkeeper Alisson are among the leading names on Arsenal’s radar for the summer as they consider Petr Cech’s future and prepare for David Ospina’s likely departure.
Any move from Arsenal for Oblak would likely depend on their qualification for the Champions League – which would necessitate beating Atletico Madrid to the Europa League crown – and even then there are likely to be a host of clubs keen on the Slovenian shot-stopper.
Real Madrid, Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain have also been linked with Oblak, who was reluctant to make any commitments on his future.
“It’s tough to discuss the future,” he said.
“It’s not easy to talk about what’s going to happen tomorrow never mind what will happen next season, but I am calm and the situation depends on Atletico – nobody knows the future.
“There’s nothing new, there have been a lot of things said and written about a new contract but the only confirmed situation is that there is nothing new.
“I have a contract that I signed two years ago, but now I must wait to see what Atleti’s plan is.”
Should Oblak leave Atletico could make a move for Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who has publicly admitted he wants to return to Spain.
