Transfer gossip: Oblak continues to be linked with Chelsea

Some of the transfer speculation involving Chelsea in Thursday’s newspapers…

Chelsea continue to be linked with various goalkeepers, including Jan Oblak.

Amid speculation over the future of Blues keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, a host of potential replacements have been linked with Chelsea in recent months.


One of them is Atletico Madrid’s Oblak, who reportedly has a £109m release clause.

It has been suggested that Chelsea might be able to sign him for less or offload Kepa to the Spanish club in exchange.

But the Daily Mail say Atletico will demand the full £190m for Oblak and that Manchester United could make a move for him.
