Real Madrid abandon De Gea, buy super goalkeeper Oblak
Real Madrid have confirmed they will not be buying David de Gea, and are preparing to exercise their buy-back clause for Jan Oblak from neighbours Atletico.
However, a source close to Real Madrid said that President Florentino Perez no longer considers De Gea a top priority for the transfer window.

Perez has run out of patience with De Gea, who is always fickle. Today he says he wants to return to Madrid, tomorrow he declares his love for MU.
Furthermore, a source close to Real Madrid also revealed that Perez understood that MU would not let De Gea leave easily.
MU has big ambitions, planning to recruit a series of stars. Therefore, the Red Devils are determined to keep De Gea, or just sell the Spanish goalkeeper for a very high price.
Instead of De Gea, Real Madrid are turning to Jan Oblak, an important factor of Atletico.
Oblak is the best goalkeeper in La Liga. He has won the Zamora trophy (for the goalkeeper with the lowest goals conceded ratio) in the last 3 seasons.
Oblak recently refused to renew his contract with Atletico. The 25-year-old Slovenian goalkeeper has clearly shown his intention to leave.
Real has prepared a plan, just waiting for the right time to bring 100 million euros to break Oblak's contract with Atletico.
This is a record price for a goalkeeper, but it is reasonable. Oblak has his own brand, so in addition to his talent, he also helps Real Madrid develop the commercial aspect.
Taking the biggest star of Atletico's squad is also a big win for Real Madrid off the field. At the same time, it also reduces the strength of Atletico - the main rival of the Spanish Royal Club next season.
