Manchester United have ‘fervent’ interest in signing – Keen on ‘luxury’ transfer

Three days ago, we carried a report from Fichajes.net, who stated that Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are closely following Atlético Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak.

It was also explained the La Liga side have set a ‘laughable price’ of €30m to sell him in the winter market.

David de Gea’s contract at Manchester United runs down in 2023, while Hugo Lloris has two years left on his deal at Spurs.

Reports in the English press have said the London club are looking to make Oblak a long-term successor to Lloris. These claims have been relayed by AS, who then provide their own information about the Red Devils.

Erik ten Hag’s side have ‘shown a fervent interest’ in the Slovakia international in ‘recent months’. The 29-year-old, who has a contract with Los Rojiblancos until 2028, is aware of the situation at Old Trafford.

AS state that Manchester United watch Diego Simeone’s man ‘very closely’ and view him to be a ‘luxury replacement for David de Gea’. The Red Devils ‘intend to take’ Oblak away from Atlético but could face competition from Tottenham.
