Incoming boss Maresca wants elite stopper signed – Spaniards ‘have decided’ They Will Sell 120 million ace

Incoming Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca is reportedly keen to add a new goalkeeper to the squad in the summer window, with reports Jan Oblak is a wanted man.

Maresca is the man that the Chelsea board feel can take the club forward after Mauricio Pochettino failed to impress as coach of the club last season – and the Italian will be backed in the transfer window.

And The Telegraph report that the 44-year-old will prioritise signing a new goalkeeper as he looks to improve key areas of the squad that is lacking in real quality.

CHELSEA made some big signings last summer that they believed would help the club challenge for a Champions League spot and maybe add some silverware to the cabinet.

One arrival that was made was that of Robert Sanchez – who was no longer wanted at Brighton and was quickly signed up by the Blues as they were desperate to add a new stopper to the side.

He has been a massive part of that Chelsea side this season – but he is not seen as a man that is good enough to play for one of the big Premier League clubs and has really struggled to impress.

Oblak has been a name that Chelsea have been linked with for the last few years and the Club could be able to get a transfer deal done for the man as Maresca wants a world class stopper added to the side.

With the sporting management headed by Carlos Bucero and Andrea Berta, Atlético intends to carry out a renewal focused on lightening the economic burden of the team, and Oblak, with one of the highest salaries, is in the spotlight.

Despite having a contract until 2028 and a release clause of 120 million euros, the club would be willing to consider offers for the goalkeeper, according to recent reports from the newspaper AS.

Jan Oblak is a world class goalkeeper and a star that would be loved by CHELSEA fans  – if the reports are true and Madrid are open to the idea of letting the player leave – it will be a massive statement if the Blues can get a deal done.

If Maresca wants a world class stopper added to the side – there are not too many out there better than Oblak.
