Atletico Madrid second choice goalkeeper Ivo Grbic could be on his way out of the club as he looks to get first-team football after failing to displace the number one choice at the club, Jan Oblak.

Grbic has already indicated his desire to leave Los Rojiblancos in the coming weeks as he looks to secure first-team football and break into the senior Croatian national team. The 25-year-old failed to make a single appearance during his debut season in Spain after joining from Lokomotiv Zagreb in 2020.

With the La Liga season set to kick off by August 13th, Diego Simeone will be keen to add a deputy for Oblak before sanctioning the move, preferably an experienced goalkeeper with the club valuing Grbic at around €3m. Lille recently sold Maignan to AC Milan and so would be willing to do business with the La Liga champions.

The defending Ligue 1 champions have reportedly targeted the giant Croatian stopper ahead of the 2021/22 season.
