Chelsea Football Club has shown their eagerness to get a new goalkeeper even though they currently have plenty of options either in the current squad or on loan. The latest name that has been linked is Jan Oblak of Atletico Madrid.
Report from ‘Diario AS’ that the ‘Sing Blues’ currently have 3 names of senior goalkeepers: Robert Sanchez, Georgi Petrovic and Marcus Bettinelli UFABET
Both at the end of the season will have Kepa Arrizabalaga. End of loan contract, return from Real Madrid, Gabriel Slonina from Upen or Lukas Bergstrom from Bromma Pojkarna.
The options are plentiful, but management seems to want Oblak, a 31-year-old who has a wealth of experience managing both big and small programs. Let’s create peace of mind because this season. They have conceded 59 goals in the league, more than twice as many as Arsenal, the league leader.
The reason why Chelsea believes they will be able to persuade the Slovenian goalkeeper is his increased salary from Atletico, guaranteeing him a starting position. And the challenges of the English Premier League. Where the competition for the championship will be wide open next season.
Oblak has been a member of Atletico for exactly 10 seasons. So he wants to get out of his comfort zone as well. The current contract runs until June 2028, with an estimated price of 50 million euros ( approximately 42.9 million pounds ) .
