Jan Oblak to Chelsea: Transfer target ready to discuss Atletico Madrid future after Champions League

Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak has left the door open for a potential move to Chelsea but says he will only think about his future after the conclusion of the Champions League.

Frank Lampard has identified the Slovenian as a possible target as he seeks a top-level replacement for Kepa Arrizabalaga.

Atletico play RB Leipzig in Champions League quarter-finals tonight and, ahead of the game in Lisbon, Oblak has said he will not think about his future until the end of the season.

“This is not the time for that,” said Oblak. “Now it is Leipzig. "I will look back at the season when the last game is over, and hopefully we will have three more [games to play]. Then there will be time to talk.”

Lampard has lost faith in Arrizabalaga and has also identified Ajax’s Andre Onana as a possible target.

Chelsea have also been linked with Manchester United’s Dean Henderson, who spent last season on loan at Sheffield United, and Burnley’s Nick Pope.
