Would you be happy?
Jan Oblak

Would be a massive upgrade and wouldn't have to put up with the constant flirting from De Gea
I'd be more than happy. Will cost much more than we get for DDG though.
Yes. De Gea is on the decline. This would be sensational for us.
He’d cost an absolute fortune, possibly the best keeper in the world. I’d say we have more urgent issues that’d need addressing. Are lots of decent keepers that can be gotten for less than half what Oblak would cost.
Upgrading on De Gea once upon a time seemed impossible, this would be an upgrade though and if DDG is being difficult with the contract negotiations something we should 100% be looking at
I think he has a buyout clause of £75M? Is that correct?
Would be worth it alone just for not having to hear him flirt with Madrid/Barca every summer.
If DDG goes, it would be a fantastic deal.
I think he had until he extended a contract a few months ago. Now it's €120m or so.
I love DDG but his head is gone and he's not committed; to be able to replace him with Oblak who actually wants to be here would be ideal.
Assuming it's accurate, obviously.

It would be probably the one and only acceptable deal for majority supporters.
Yeah we aren't paying 120m euros for a keeper. Not in a million years.
ESPN are a nothing source though so nothing in this.
If he leaves, he'll probably go to PSG.

Either he comes or De Gea renews. Happy with either tbh.
I would say 99% certain neither happens.
@RedSky did some extremely good GK stats in the alisson thread I think and Oblak was top on most.
If De Gea was to leave, he'd be the one keeper I think would be worth the price & would perform as well as De Gea has for us.
Most probably true
Correct. They're a year old now but see below, worth noting his distribution isn't great:
---------------------
This is the top 10 from all 113 goalkeepers in the list on top of page 5. He's pretty damn good based on last seasons stats, one of the best in Europe and understandable why his price tag is so huge.

Why is he upset?
About as low risk a transfer as you could get, even for £100 million. One of the best in the world.
Sensational keeper. Not happening though.
Everyone's fecking off. Griezmann gone, Rodri and Partey on the way out.
Didn't know he was a Unites fan. I'd actively sell David for him, he's a monster in the box and will have Buffon / VDS longevity while David looks as if he's on the brink of a Casillas drop in quality.
Atletico Madrid losing all their players.
Too good to be true I would expect. Lovely dream though.
A swap for DDG? He gets to be closer to his mrs, main thing would be wages.
Why is he upset with Atletico?

If you ever have to ask that question about a footballer the answer is money
Why is he upset with Atletico?
No brainer IF true
All his mates are leaving.
