# Atletico Madrid expect Jan Oblak to join Arsenal or Liverpool

Atletico Madrid expect Jan Oblak to join Arsenal or Liverpool this summer and as such, they’ve already lined up a replacement, according to [reports in Spain](https://www.elgoldigital.com/atletico-madrid-pagara-clausula-de-kepa-si-marcha-oblak/).

Diego Simeone hass reportedly accepted that one of the English clubs will meet his goalkeeper’s release clause and as such, he is repared to pay £70m to activate the release clause of Kepa Arrizabalaga, who is currently Athletic Bilbao’s number one goalkeeper.

Both of the Premier League clubs will see the number one position as a priority over the summer, with Liverpool’s first choice goalkeeper Loris Karius making two mistakes in the recent Champions League Final in the 3-1 loss to Real Madrid.

Meanwhile, Petr Cech and David Ospina have been underperforming all season at the Emirates in a disappointing final season for Arsene Wenger, as the Gunners finished sixth.

So with both of the two  Premier League clubs in desperate need of a goalkeeper, it looks as if one of the world’s best could be on his way to brighten up English football.
