Chelsea’s interest in £90million Jan Oblak has been confirmed by Atletico Madrid’s assistant manager.

Oblak, who has been a big success since he joined the club from Benfica in 2014, signed a new deal with Atletico Madrid until 2023 last year.

The 27-year-old has been named the best La Liga goalkeeper the last four seasons in a row.

Diego Simeone’s No 2 German Burgos, who is leaving at the end of the season, said Frank Lampard is trying to seal a deal for the keeper this summer.

He was asked by Marca if there were any of his current players he would like to sign at his next club.

It was then that he confirmed Chelsea’s attempts to get Oblak.

He said: “If I only quote one who I would take from Atletico Madrid, it would be bad – I have to name them all.

“Look, the Russian [Roman Abramovich] wants to take Oblak.”
