Oblak is one of the most sought-after goalkeepers presently

Atletico Madrid had to fork out €16 million for Jan Oblak in 2014, making him the then most expensive goalkeeper in La Liga history.

The Slovenian goalkeeper had the onus to fill the void left by Thibaut Courtois, who departed Los Colchoneros for Chelsea.

In the last three seasons, he has been an important part of Diego Simeone's plans and has made his transfer look like a shrewd bargain with his splendid performances. Oblak's contribution to the squad had been brushed aside prior to the recent season, where it came to the fore due to Atletico Madrid's crumbling defence.

This season, Oblak has kept 29 clean sheets in 49 appearances across all competitions and has only conceded a total of 28 goals, which speaks volumes about his goal-keeping ability.

He also inspired Atletico Madrid to their 3rd Europa League title and helped them stabilize their 2nd position in La Liga, 3 points ahead of Real Madrid.

The 25-year-old is one of the most sought-after goalkeepers in the current transfer window with the likes of Real Madrid, Liverpool and Arsenal eyeing the Slovenian.
