Berbatov: “Oblak would be a great signing even for 150 million”

Resign Berbatov, former Manchester United and Tottenham player, among others, is an ambassador for Betfair and it is usual that in the various acts of the brand give your opinion on different current issues in the world of football. In his last appearance, this morning, spoke about one of the rumors of the summer: Chelsea's interest in Oblak. The Bulgarian assured that “I am seeing the amounts that are being talked about and, even costing 150 million euros, Oblak would still seem like a transfer to me. Chelsea would not make a mistake by investing such an amount in it. “

I also state that “Oblak is an amazing player and, after so long at Atleti, maybe it's time to move. I think Chelsea do well to go after him. It is true that they have spent a lot of money two years ago signing Kepa (they paid the 80 million euros of their termination clause to Athletic Bilbao), but he is not doing well, after his fights with Sarri, which has not done him any favors. So Chelsea have to find a new goalkeeper and they have done the right thing by going for Oblak. It will not be easy, because all parties should be happy, but it would seem to me that that exchange of money plus Kepa for Oblak would be a good option“

It must be remembered that on the 14th it was published in England that the London club was considering offering 100 million euros for Atlético's Slovenian goalkeeper. Even, it was commented that the British would be willing to introduce their starting goalkeeper, Kepa Arrizabalaga, into the operation., to make it cheaper. Of course, it does not seem likely that the rojiblanco club will agree to negotiate for their goalkeeper, one of the mainstays of Simeone's team (in fact, he is one of the captains of the squad) and considered by much of public opinion as the best goalkeeper in the world or, at least, is in the shortlist of the most decisive. If we stick to the quantitative valuation, Oblak he is the most expensive goalkeeper in the world with a market value, according to the specialized website Transfermarkt, of 80 million euros. He has a contract with Atlético until 2023 and a termination clause of 120 million euros.
