To replace Andre Onana at Old Trafford, Manchester United wants to sign Jan Oblak, a shot stopper from Slovenia.
David De Gea, winner of the Golden Glove in the Premier League last season, was free to leave Manchester United in the summer when his contract ran out.
The Old Trafford team paid more than 50 million euros to get Onana from Inter Milan to replace him.
That being said, the Cameroonian international has been shaky in goal and has made big mistakes that have cost Man Utd a lot of money.
Reports say that the Red Devils want to get rid of the African goalie and bring in Jan Oblak from Atletico Madrid as a replacement.
In an exclusive story from Todo Fichajes, a Spanish source said that the Rojiblancos are open to bids for the 31-year-old star.
Man United is reportedly working on an offer worth £38.5 million, which is about €45 million. This amount could be enough to get the former Benfica player to join them.

Oblak has been the Colchoneros’ star player in La Liga. During the 2015–16 season, he got the award for best goalkeeper.
The star player, who has played 60 times for Spain, was also named La Liga’s Most Valuable Player when Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid won the title in 2020–21.
Man United needs to find a new goalkeeper for good, and Jan Oblak, a world-class player, could be the answer.
