Diego Simeone employs his usual candid nature on his pride at coaching Atletico, while brushing off talk of his future.

Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak's future looks uncertain after his agent said two clubs, including one from the Premier League, have made contact about signing his client, who has a reported €100 million release clause in his contract.

Oblak, 24, is rated among the world's top keepers after racking up 66 clean sheets in 111 games for Atletico since joining for €16m from Benfica in 2014.

Such form has seen the Slovenia international linked with a number of clubs from around Europe, with the Premier League's Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal and Manchester City all being touted as possible destinations for him this summer.

Oblak's agent Miha Mlakar told Goal that no movement will happen until after the La Liga season ends next week, but he has already heard from two interested clubs, including one from England.

Jan Oblak has kept 66 clean sheets in 111 games for Atletico Madrid.

"It is too early yet as there are still La Liga games to play, but it is true that there is a lot of interest in the best goalkeeper in the world," Mlakar said. "There are two clubs especially interested in Oblak for next season. One is in the United Kingdom."

The summer could see a lot of movement among Europe's top goalkeepers, with Real Madrid reportedly interested in signing either of United's David De Gea or Chelsea's Thibaut Courtois.

This week's Champions League semifinal exit to Madrid has also brought further speculation over the future of many of Atletico's top players, including United target Antoine Griezmann, although coach Diego Simeone has played down the idea he might move on.
