Jan Oblak set for new Atletico Madrid deal

Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak is set to sign a new contract with the club next week, according to a report in Diario AS.

The Slovenian shot-stopper is set to extend his current deal at Los Rojiblancos – which runs through until June 2021 – by a further year.

The 26-year-old has been strongly linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain but this new deal is set to increase his annual wage packet to €10m.

Furthermore, the goalkeeper’s release clause at Atleti is set to increase from €100m to €150m, to further ward off potential suitors.

The Slovenian international has developed into one of the world’s elite goalkeepers in Madrid since his €16m transfer from Benfica in 2014.

Oblak has been a regular in Diego Simeone's starting line-up across the past four seasons and his renewal has long been seen as a priority.
