Manchester United and two other clubs that could sign Jan Oblak next summer

Paris Saint-Germain have proved over the last five years they’re not afraid to dip into their war chest of funds when they feel it’s necessary.

Signing both Neymar and Kylian Mbappe in the same summer in 2017 proved that.

In terms of the goalkeeping issue though, manager Thomas Tuchel has just brought in veteran Gianluigi Buffon between the sticks.

He will bring a steady pair of hands and a wealth of experience to a back-line that now features three of its centre backs between 21 and 24 years of age.

The 40-year-old Buffon has defied many odds over his career but PSG could well seek a quality replacement in 2019 and Oblak would be that kind of signing.

As previously mentioned, with England’s top six club all now having distinguished recognised number ones. A move to the Premier League looks off the cards.

But there’s one caveat that could see Oblak turn up at Old Trafford. Buffon’s lack of longevity could mean PSG turn their attentions to David De Gea instead.

The infamous fax machine story robbed the Spaniard of a move to Real Madrid a few years ago. But a move to Paris could be the place he can get his hands on the Champions League.

Whether Mourinho is in charge of The Red Devils next season or not, the club’s top brass would be desperate to get a world class replacement for their keeper.

Oblak claimed 21 clean sheets in 34 La Liga games last campaign compared to De Gea’s 15 shut-outs in 36 Premier League appearances.

There’s a few moving parts that will all have to fit into place but Oblak in a Man United shirt is not entirely inconceivable.
