“Dream Goalkeeper for Liverpool” – Reds Fans Beg The Club To Sign World-class £87m Stopper

The buildup to England’s game vs Slovenia was perfectly poised and for all right reasons I must say, England’s attack was scoring goals week after week in the domestic circuit, while for Slovenia’s defence, all eyes were on their undisputed No. 1, Jan Oblak. Only some hours before the game, stats revealed that the stopper had kept more clean sheets (50) in La Liga for Atletico Madrid than he has conceded goals (49). Quite an achievement!

The game was perfectly deadlocked until the stoppage time. Kyle Walker delivered a perfect cross into the box and bang! Harry Kane was at his usual best yet again. Getting past Oblak was never going to be an easy task and if someone from the English team had to do it, it was Harry Kane.

His performance against England, for Liverpool fans, in particular, was so jaw-dropping that they demanded the club officials to sign him up right away. Signing him, however, won’t be a walk in the park as Metro Sports claims that Oblak carries a £87m

 release clause in his contract. Besides, some ‘serious interest’ from a host of European clubs will be deemed as an issue as well. PSG were firmly linked with the Slovenian and they are reportedly still in the hunt.

Liverpool fans, however, were optimistic in their desire to have the Slovenian signed and this is how they reacted on Twitter:
