At Atlético de Madrid there is a certainty that the situation of Jan Oblak is not definitively closed, there is a possibility of the Slovenian leaving in the future. The goalkeeper has three more years of contract, but the idea of the club is clear: to reduce all the high contracts. At the moment, Jan Oblak is the player who receives the highest emoluments of the entire Atlético de Madrid squad.
They will soon negotiate with their agents a salary reduction that will allow the Atlético players to make moves in January. Moves that were left pending due to the current salary of the Slovenian goalkeeper and the limited margin they have. Jan Oblak does not want to leave Madrid to go to an exotic league, nor does he want to reduce his salary, so it is an issue that must be followed very closely.
The sports management, headed by Andrea Berta and led by Carlos Bucero , is happy with the arrival of Juan Agustín Musso . The player from San Nicolás de los Arroyos is 30 years old and has landed at the club on loan with an option to buy. According to Marcos Durán in RELEVO, if he plays 25 games, that option will be mandatory for Atlético de Madrid .
Juan Musso would be the second goalkeeper
Juan Musso is liked as a replacement for the Slovenian, but he is not the starting goalkeeper they are looking for; they are looking for another type of profile. He has to be younger, know LaLiga , have good footwork and often come out of the goal. All the management's eyes are on Joan García , RCD Espanyol 's goalkeeper, who last Wednesday left a good impression on his visit to the Civitas Metropolitano with the parakeets.
The goalkeeper from Sallent has arrived in the First Division to stay, after several years alternating between being a substitute and a starter. The recent relegation has given him the position, although his future at RCD Espanyol is uncertain. The last few days of the transfer market were very heated, with Arsenal trying to close his signing, offering less than the release clause.
Arsenal tried to close his signing
The Londoners' proposals did not reach 25 million euros, while Espanyol demanded a fixed 30 million euro release clause. Juanma López , his agent, unsuccessfully tried to close the deal with Arsenal at the request of Mikel Arteta , the Gunners' coach. The Atletico team really likes the goalkeeper and they are closely following his progress in this League since his return to First Division .
In the summer, Joan García was the third goalkeeper for Santi Denia 's Olympic team, winner of the gold medal in Paris . He did so alongside Pablo Barrios and Alejandro Iturbe as teammates, and with Samu Omorodion , then a striker for Atlético in the squad. The references are the best, and the few doubts that existed were dispelled after the great game he played in front of Diego Simeone .
