Manchester United's attempts to identify a potential replacement for David de Gea have suffered a blow after Atletico Madrid reportedly ...
De Gea has been repeatedly linked with a move to Real Madrid after an outstanding campaign in goal for the Red Devils, and Los Blancos' search for a new goalkeeper is only expected to intensify following the departure of club legend Iker Casillas last week.
Unired are believed to be resigned to losing ex-Atleti keeper De Gea and have prepared for his exit by opening talks with Los Rojiblancos over their Slovenian shot-stopper.
However, according to Spanish publication AS, Atletico rejected United's offer of around £20.1m after the 22-year-old Oblak established himself as first-choice at Ramon Calderon following Thibaut Courtois' return to Chelsea last summer.
Louis van Gaal's side have also been heavily linked in connection with Tottenham Hotspur's Hugo Lloris, but it is outfield where the Dutchman has been strengthening so far this summer.
The Red Devils have already landed Matteo Darmian from Torino for around £13m, and Bastian Schweinsteiger and Morgan Schneiderlin are expected to be confirmed this week.
