Atletico ready Oblak replacement as LFC happy to pay giant release-clause – Report

So that’s Courtois to Atletico, Alisson to Chelsea and Oblak to Liverpool.
That leaves AS Roma without a keeper, but perhaps they can take Simon Mignolet off our hands to complete the swap-shop!
The Independent have confirmed that Atletico are preparing for the possibility a club will activate Oblak’s release-clause and we really, really hope it’s Liverpool.
We’d actually prefer the Slovenian to Alisson, who conceded seven against us in the Champions League semi-finals.
Still, either would do – as would Courtois – although we can’t see Chelsea selling us their no.1 and fixing our problem position.
