Although, if a deal was to go through it is likely that Manchester United would not activate the release clause and would negotiate for a significantly lower sum.
Even if they got Oblak for half that figure, it would mean De Gea heading to Los Blancos and that is the last thing many United fans would want.
United are also in the market for a new striker with Zlatan Ibrahimovic sidelined for the foreseeable future, and according to Manchester Evening News, Real Madrid’s Alvaro Morata is high on their radar.
Morata has struggled to break into Real Madrid’s starting side but the club may be reluctant to let the player go after he rejoined from Juventus last summer on a five-year deal. M.E.N understands that United have made contact with the players camp but any talks are in preliminary stages.
As for Griezmann, it is still touch-and-go as to whether he will move to Old Trafford or not.
