First Don Balon, then AS – the content was the same both times: Slovenian international Jan Oblak could leave Atletico Madrid’s ranks this summer! But as the rumors grew louder day by day, Atletico decided to finally respond. And they did. The club from the Spanish capital answered the newspaper AS and clearly stated: “Jan Oblak is not for sale!”
Furthermore, AS writes today that Jan Oblak is indeed one of those at Atletico who are “simply untouchable“. AS adds that there may indeed be quite a few changes at Atletico this summer, but regarding coach Diego Simeone, goalkeeper Jan Oblak, long-time club member Koke, and French international Antoine Griezmann, the same applies to all: they are untouchable.
“Atletico believes that Jan Oblak is a key player for the next season, and the goalkeeper knows it well too. The sports management of the Madrid club is aware that regeneration of the team is needed this year, but also that there are players they will not touch: Koke, Griezmann, and Oblak will be the ones leading the new project, with Simeone as the leader from the bench,” writes AS, citing a response from Atletico’s leadership, claiming that the 31-year-old Jan Oblak is the “backbone of the club, untouched“.
