Jan Oblak has taken a step closer to joining Manchester United- adding to speculation that David de Gea is on his way to Real Madrid.
According to a report in the Manchester Evening News representatives of the Atletico Madrid keeper are in the UK this week with talks underway about a switch the Old Trafford.
There has been on off speculation almost since de Gea signed for United in 2011 that he was on his way to Real Madrid with the Spanish giants determined to finally land the former Atletico keeper.
In a mirror image of 2011 United have turned their attention back to Atletico with the 24-year-old Slovenian chosen to replace de Gea between the posts.
Oblak is in his second season as first choice keeper for Atletico and has impressed in high profile matches against Real and Barca as well as excelling in the Champions League.
Atletico have an £85m buy out clause in the keeper’s contract but United are confident of getting their man for less than that and staying in profit from the sale of de Gea.
