Manchester United could battle Chelsea for Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak, according to a report.

Manchester United could reportedly be ready to battle Chelsea for the signature of Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak during this summer's transfer window.

Chelsea have allegedly identified the 27-year-old as the ideal replacement for Kepa Arrizabalaga, with the Blues expected to move for a new stopper ahead of the 2020-21 campaign.

United, meanwhile, could also be in the market for a new number one due to David de Gea's struggles, coupled with the uncertainty surrounding Dean Henderson's future.

According to the Daily Mail, United could battle their Premier League rivals for the Slovenia international, although Atletico are likely to demand that his full £109m release clause is met.

Atletico boss Diego Simeone recently admitted that he was "not surprised" that clubs were circling Oblak, who has a contract at the Wanda Metropolitano until the summer of 2023.

The Slovenian has kept 22 clean sheets in 48 outings for his Spanish club this term.
