But, according to France Football, PSG have stolen a march on the Premier League pair.

The French giants’ Qatari owners have grown tired of current options Kevin Trapp and Alphonse Areola after missing out on the title to Monaco.

German Trapp, 26, has played 31 times in all competitions this season – and kept 18 clean sheets.

But that form has not been deemed good enough as PSG prepare for an overhaul after Saturday’s Coupe de France final against Angers.

And club chiefs appear to be ready to match Atletico’s lofty asking price for Oblak.

The 24-year-old’s agent recently admitted he could leave the La Liga giants this summer.

Speaking to Le10sports, he said: “The future of Oblak? What’s certain is that various clubs want to sign the best goalkeeper in the world. Two in particular are very interested.”

Oblak joined Atleti for £12.6m from Benfica in 2014 and has made 113 appearances in the last three seasons with Diego Simeone’s side.
