Jan Oblak once again proved on Sunday why he has been among the best goalkeepers in the world for a decade and why he has gone down in football history as one of the greatest net guardians of all time.

The reason Jan Oblak might leave the capital of Spain is – of course – money. The Škofja Loka native is among the highest-paid players at Atletico, and the latter wants to “balance” its financial books this summer. That’s why Jan Oblak could go elsewhere, with Chelsea being particularly mentioned in connection with him recently.

The goal of the club from Turin has been guarded by numerous top-class goalkeepers in the past, including the legendary Gianluigi Buffon. Currently, the number 1 is Wojciech Szczesny, who has a contract for another year, but it’s not impossible that he will leave this summer. In that case, according to reports in Italy, the 34-year-old could apparently be replaced by Jan Oblak. Whether this is just speculation or if there is any truth to it remains to be seen.
