Oblak is a wanted man and Atleti will be desperate to keep him

Following the team's qualification for the Europa League semi-finals where it will face English side Arsenal, midfielder Koke has urged the club to give Slovenian goalkeeper Jan Oblak a blank cheque to ensure he is not tempted away.

The 24-year-old goalie has been world-class since he joined in a €16m deal from Rio Ave in 2014 and with some of Europe's top sides looking to pounce for his services, the 26-year-old Koke is urging the board to do all it can to keep the giant goalie.

Speaking to Spanish radio programme "El Larguero", the Spanish international said:

Jan has got us used to him playing great games, if I was in charge of this club I would give him a blank cheque [to stay]

Los Rojiblancos have been linked with a sensational move for Liverpool's dynamic Brazilian forward Roberto Firmino as rumours emerged linking the Reds to Juventus' jewel Paulo Dybala.

According to Spanish website El Gol Digital, Jurgen Klopp wants the Argentine maestro and as such Atleti could move for the Brazilian who may become surplus to the requirement if the deal goes through.
