Atletico Madrid register interest in highly-rated 22-year-old goalkeeper

Jan Oblak turns 32 later this month, so naturally Atletico Madrid have started thinking about life after the Slovenian goalkeeper, who has been at the club for more than a decade. He still has plenty of time left at the Metropolitano, although a successor is being looked at.

One option Atleti is looking at is Leandro Brey. According to Estadio Deportivo, Los Colchoneros have become the latest club to register their interest in the Boca Junior stopper, who has also become a target for Napoli.

Brey, who is only 22 years old, is very highly regarded in South America. He has a release clause of fourteen million euros, and while this is somewhat tempting, Atleti are believed to be in no rush to make a move.

Oblak still has quite a few years left in the tank, as goalkeepers can often play into their forties. However, Atletico Madrid will take into account that his level could drop at any moment.
