Atletico Madrid expect Jan Oblak to join Arsenal or Liverpool this summer

Atletico Madrid expect Jan Oblak to join Arsenal or Liverpool this summer and as such, they’ve already lined up a replacement, according to reports in Spain.

Diego Simeone hass reportedly accepted that one of the English clubs will meet his goalkeeper’s release clause and as such, he is repared to pay £70m to activate the release clause of Kepa Arrizabalaga, who is currently Athletic Bilbao’s number one goalkeeper.

Both of the Premier League clubs will see the number one position as a priority over the summer, with Liverpool’s first choice goalkeeper Loris Karius making two mistakes in the recent Champions League Final in the 3-1 loss to Real Madrid.

Meanwhile, Petr Cech and David Ospina have been underperforming all season at the Emirates in a disappointing final season for Arsene Wenger, as the Gunners finished sixth.

So with both of the two  Premier League clubs in desperate need of a goalkeeper, it looks as if one of the world’s best could be on his way to brighten up English football.
