Manchester City Set To Overtake Chelsea In Race To Sign La Liga Ace

Manchester City have joined the race to sign Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak, according to reports.

City are believed to be keen on signing a replacement for Claudio Bravo and has set sights on the Atleti keeper. Bravo only arrived at the Etihad last summer transfer window but has struggled in between the sticks.

Reports in the Goal have it that Pep Guardiola is not impressed with the Chilean goalie, conceding 14 goals from the last 22 shots he has faced and the City boss is ready to replace him with Jan Oblak.

Prior reports have it that Chelsea are keeping tabs on Oblak after reports that Thibaut Courtois was heavily linked with a move to Santiago Bernabeu.

The Slovenian keeper has an £86.7million release clause and Atleti goalie will demand City and Chelsea meet his high transfer fees.

West Ham winger Michail Antonio is set to renew his contract with the Hammers and could snub Chelsea who are reportedly considering a move for the winger.

The 26-year-old has had a fine season this term, netting eight goals while playing in various positions so far this season.

Reports in the Guardian, Antonio has agreed a new five-and-a-half year contract that is worth £70,000 per week.
