A prominent Spanish journalist revealed the real reason why Jan Oblak could leave Atletico? Not so much form, much more money

This week, a big explosion occurred in Spain, where they claim that Jan Oblak could leave Atletico Madrid after the end of the season. Diego Simeone, the coach of the Spanish club, allegedly no longer trusts the captain of the Slovenian national team. However, the reputable Spanish journalist Eduardo Inda, who has previously written for El Mundo and Marca, and is now the chief at the online newspaper Okdiario, offered a different reason why both sides could part ways.
According to Eduardo Inda, Oblak’s departure elsewhere could primarily be due to economic reasons or, if you will, money. Atletico has “a huge economic problem,” claims Eduardo Inda, adding: “The first to leave the club could be Alvaro Morata because Atletico also needs money not to expand capital. After the European Championship, they could take advantage and sell him, perhaps to Italy or Saudi Arabia.”
Oblak? 15 or 16 million gross
Regarding Jan Oblak, who has been defending Atletico’s goal for a long 10 years, Eduardo Inda continued: “Atletico had to increase capital by 40 million euros, which they must fulfill this year. The economic problem is huge. Another player they could put on the market to raise money is Oblak. There’s talk about David de Gea or Kepa as potential replacements. We must not forget that Oblak receives 8 million euros net per season, which amounts to approximately 15 or 16 million euros gross. If Oblak leaves, Kepa or David de Gea are mentioned, but especially the latter has been without games for a long time.”
If the former goalkeeper of Ljubljana’s Olimpija really leaves Atletico, he will certainly not lack offers. Yesterday, some foreign media outlets already reported that he is of interest to both Al Nassr, Cristiano Ronaldo’s club, and Al Ittihad, where Karim Benzema plays.
