Thursday brought a new hot rumor, which is just a continuation of what has been hinted at for quite some time. Jan Oblak will likely leave Atletico this summer, as reported by numerous media outlets from Spain, with Fabrizio Romano even adding that they in Madrid have already decided not to stand in the way of the Slovenian if he wants to change employers. Jan Oblak continues to be a very, very important part of Atletico, but it is also true that he is quite handsomely paid. The club from the Spanish capital wants to take care of “balancing the financial books,” and the salary received by the Škofja Loka native represents one of the bigger burdens.
Saudi Arabian Clubs are very interested in signing Jan Oblak this summer. 🇸🇦💣
Atletico Madrid’s price-tag of €40M will not be an issue for Saudi, while they are ready to offer €40M per season to Jan Oblak. 🤯💰

Nevertheless, Jan Oblak will undoubtedly be one of the main stars of the summer transfer market after the end of Euro 2024, and it increasingly seems that his path will lead him to England. Today, we could read that in the battle for him, Newcastle United is reportedly putting strong pressure, and former member of Ljubljana’s Olimpija Kieran Trippier allegedly recommended him to the club. The 33-year-old is currently playing at St James’ Park, and before that, he was Oblak’s teammate on the Iberian peninsula for three years.
Jan Oblak alongside Ronaldo?
However, if Newcastle United wants to win the battle for the captain of Slovenia, it apparently will also have to beat out wealthy clubs from Saudi Arabia. The latter are reportedly almost literally ready to ‘shower him with gold,’ as one rumor says that the Gorenjec already has offers on the table that could bring him up to €40 million per season!
Saudi World Football claims that one of the clubs interested in Oblak is Al Nassr, where Cristiano Ronaldo shines. A two-year contract is reportedly in play, which could bring Jan Oblak €80 million in salary per year, not to mention various bonuses. So, what will weigh more heavily? Competitive ambitions in the form of proving himself in the elite Premier League? Or the strong scent of money from Saudi Arabia, which has already convinced many very famous football faces?
In all of this, it should not be forgotten that Jan Oblak reportedly had a tempting offer from the Arab world on the table last year, which he – rejected!
