Atletico want to increase Oblak release clause

Atletico Madrid want to increase the release clause of goalkeeper Jan Oblak, chief executive Miguel Angel Gil Marin has confirmed.

The Slovenia international has a deal with Atleti until 2021 that includes a buyout option reportedly worth €100million.

"We're going to try to increase Oblak's clause, but what we have to do is trust him," Gil Marin told Cadena COPE.

"We know he wants to stay and we want him to stay."

Oblak has become one of the world's leading keepers since joining Atleti from Benfica in 2014.

He kept a clean sheet as Diego Simeone's side won the Europa League final 3-0 against Marseille on Wednesday.
