According to The Daily Mail, Chelsea are interested in a deal to sign the Slovenia international from Atletico Madrid in the upcoming transfer window.

The same article states that Oblak is unsettled at Atletico to give Chelsea an encouragement in the race to sign the 27-year-old.

According to the same story, the Atletico goalkeeper is eager to embrace a new challenge in the Premier League after the Spanish side’s recent struggles under sporting director Andrea Barta.

The report goes on to add that Oblak is aware of interest from Chelsea FC but the Slovenian shot-stopper believes that Manchester United will look to rival the Blues for his signature.

However, the Daily Mail claim that Atletico won’t sell Oblak for less than £109m in the summer transfer window to surpass the £73m that Chelsea paid for Kepa Arrizabalaga in 2018.

The media outlet claim that the Blues would like to use Kepa in a makeweight in a deal for Oblak to reduce the money that would be required to secure the goalkeeper’s signature.
