Man Utd prepared to agree terms to finally sign £168,000-a-week star as Ten Hag waits for January announcement
David De Gea’s form has been uneven in recent years, and Manchester United has been connected with Atletico Madrid shot-stopper Jan Oblak for some time.
The Sun reported last year that United was interested in wooing the Slovenian international to replace their Spanish goalkeeper. However, the relocation did not take place. The 29-year-old goalkeeper is now back in the spotlight.
According to a report in Jeunes Footeux, De Gea’s performances have failed to persuade new boss Erik ten Hag.
As a result, the Dutch manager wants the Red Devils to sign Oblak first and foremost. Both De Gea and Oblak’s contracts will expire next summer.
David is one of Old Trafford’s highest-paid players. The 31-year-old earns roughly £375,000 per week (The Sun). The Rojiblancos star, on the other hand, makes a net 10 million euros per season, or £168,000 per week (Sport).
According to Jeunes Footeux, Manchester United is willing to agree to terms worth 18 million euros each season to entice the former Benfica goalkeeper away from the Colchoneros.
According to the French news outlet, PSG is also interested in him since they are dissatisfied with Italian international Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Oblak is a world-class goalkeeper. With Atletico Madrid, he won the Ricardo Zamora Trophy four times and preserved the cleanest sheets in five La Liga seasons.
Should Manchester United eventually let go of De Gea in order to sign the Slovenian, in your opinion?
