Will Jan Oblak finally leave Atletico from Madrid this summer after more than 10 years and over 400 matches? Rumors about his potential departure have been circulating for some time, but now Don Balon has come up with significant words suggesting that Jan Oblak might have to bid farewell due to … his coach! The legendary Diego Simeone seems to be dissatisfied with the performances displayed by Jan Oblak this season. The captain of Slovenia has conceded 63 goals in 48 matches in all competitions, which is – frankly – more than in any previous season in the Spanish capital.
While it would be unfair to solely blame the octopus from Škofja Loke for the higher number of goals conceded, Diego Simeone apparently deemed it the right moment for a change between Atletico’s goalposts. “Atletico Madrid may change their goalkeeping team in the summer, as Cholo Simeone is concerned about the poor performances of star goalkeeper Jan Oblak. Sources close to the club claim that the coach is tired of the mistakes made by the Slovenian goalkeeper this season, which have contributed to the team’s disappointment in the fight for trophies,” writes Don Balon, adding: “Although Oblak has been the cornerstone of the Colchoneros’ defense for many years, he has shown signs of declining form, leading Simeone to seriously consider his departure from the team. Reports suggest that the Argentine coach has discussed the possibility of allowing the Slovenian goalkeeper to seek new horizons in the upcoming transfer window, which could surprise many fans of the club.”
Don Balon adds that Diego Simeone has already “identified” the goalkeeper he wants to replace Jan Oblak. It is Giorgi Mamardashvili, a Georgian international currently playing for Valencia. Whether these are just rumors or not, it will certainly be interesting to see. But if Jan Oblak does indeed get the green light to look for a new employer, he will surely find one in no time. After all, he is one of the best goalkeepers in the history of football…
