The Croatian, like last year, does not want to be in the shadow of the Slovenian goalkeeper for a season, so a new loan or even a transfer if a good offer arrives are the options that are now being considered at the Metropolitan. Espanyol and Rayo Vallecano They have already asked about it.

This means that Atlético will have to re-sign a goalkeeper with guarantees to replace Oblak if necessary. And the profile that is sought is similar to that of last year, when he arrived from Monaco Benjamin Lecomtewho ended his loan without playing a single official minute with the rojiblanco team.

The profile fits perfectly with what Atlético is looking for. A veteran goalkeeper, who is aware that he has Oblak ahead of him, but who is also capable of ‘squeezing’ the Slovenian and offering guarantees when he has to be under the sticks, something that Simeone did not finish receiving Lecomte.

The real Madrid also sounded like destiny of the Medellin goalkeeper, like the Villarreal or the Lille (team in which Grbic has been on loan)but according to AreaNapoliAtlético is currently the best placed to get their services.
