Former Benfica champion on the transfer market: summer is long | OneFootball

Jan Oblak is not guaranteed to stay at Atlético Madrid. With the season just one matchday away from ending, the Slovenian goalkeeper, who previously played for Benfica, is uncertain about his future, leaving the door open to a possible departure and saying that the summer – a reference to the transfer window – is long.

"I always say that you never know what will happen in the future. I have a contract, but the summer is always long", the goalkeeper said in comments to DAZN, adding that he is not sure what to expect as the transfer market unfolds, with it reopening on July 1.

The former Benfica goalkeeper made these remarks at the end of the match against Girona, right on the pitch at the Metropolitano, in what was the colchoneros’ final home game. The Madrid club is preparing for a major overhaul, and the Slovenian does not have a secure place in the squad.

In addition, the loss of his status as the undisputed first-choice goalkeeper for the rojiblancos further weakens Oblak’s position in Diego Simeone’s side, with the former Benfica man seeing Musso, the second-choice option, deliver solid performances in several key matches, including in the Champions League. Besides the Slovenian, Thiago Almada is also being linked with a move away.
