Watching Szczesny? Juventus target Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Oblak

Juventus are preparing a move for Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak.

Tuttosport says Juve are seeking a successor for Gigi Buffon and have Oblak under consideration.

Buffon, now 39, is expected to hang up the gloves after the Russian World Cup next summer, despite remaining first-choice for club and country.

Oblak resisted interest from PSG last month and has insisted he is committed to Atletico.

Juve's interest, meanwhile, will be concerning for Wojciech Szczesny, who joined from Arsenal over the summer with the guarantee of eventually succeeding Buffon as the club's outright No1.
