Atlético de Madrid returned to training this morning with an important piece of news: the recovery of Jan Oblak . The Slovenian goalkeeper, after several days in the gym, trained today with his teammates. As his future and that of Moldovan remain uncertain, goalkeepers appear on the roadmap for Atlético's signings.
Jan Oblak has had a few uncertain days due to his injury, which has kept him out of the gym, while the rumour mill has been rife. It doesn't help that the goalkeeper has a contract for four more years and the highest salary in the squad.
The red-and-whites are looking to make cuts in all areas and the Slovenian is aware of this, so if an offer comes in, it will be studied. Goalkeepers are being sought on the market.
Pau Lopez on Atletico's roster
One of them is Pau López , according to SER Catalunya and Relevo , the Catalan goalkeeper, formerly of RCD Espanyol de Barcelona . The goalkeeper, who is in France, specifically at Olympique de Marseille , has two more years on his contract. The relationship between Pablo Longoria and Andrea Berta is very fluid; the name of the Spaniard is one more on the list.
Mundo Deportivo also reports that Girona is another of the clubs that have set their sights on the Catalan. Originally from Girona , the option of the Montilivi team is on the table and is being seriously considered. But the possibility of joining Simeone's team is very important for a player like the former Perico youth player.
Extensive experience for Simeone
The decision is exclusively up to Pau López , who has played for Roma, Real Betis, Tottenham, RCD Espanyol and Olympique de Marseille itself . He arrived on the Provençal coast in the 21/22 season to compete with Steve Mandanda . He has been gaining ground on the Frenchman and has now played 127 games, conceding 151 goals and keeping 35 clean sheets.
It seems like little for what is usually a goal with few goals conceded, like that of Atléticode Madrid . Another whose future is somewhat uncertain is Horatiu Moldovan , the Romanian goalkeeper who arrived last winter. While he prepares to make his official debut, something he has not yet done, his future remains up in the air.
Several teams asking about Moldovan
The red-and-whites would have no problem keeping him, but the goalkeeper is aiming to leave and get more minutes. He didn't like going to the Euros and not being a starter for Romania ; he feels disadvantaged. He is fully aware that he was going to be Jan Oblak 's substitute, however, he expected to get more minutes at Atlético .
Leganés, Rayo and Valladolid , among others, have asked about the red-and-white footballer, who wants to be able to play on Monday in Villarreal . It will depend on how Oblak is, who is now back in Simeone 's group. The Slovenian wants to forget about the rumours and focus on the sporting side, in what will be his tenth season with Atlético.
