Reds manager Jurgen Klopp has backed Loris Karius as the club's current number one but Meresyde side are preparing to bring in the 25-year-old who has been in terrific form for the La Liga outfit for the past his four-year.
Oblak who moved to Madrid from Benfica in 2014 – has helped Atletico up to second in La Liga, while the Spanish outfit are
preparing for their Europa League semi-final showdown with Arsenal.
According to Spanish publication AS claiming that Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus are ready to battle Liverpool for Oblak signature with the eighteen-time Premier League Champions identified Slovenia international to replacement Karius who has failed to stamp his authority between the sticks.
Liverpool had long been linked with Roma's Alisson but their pursuit of the Brazilian stopper is over while Stoke City's Jack Butland has also been touted with a move to Anfield.
Liverpool must meet his €100million buyout clause, which runs until 2021, and it would appear that fee would need to be met to prise him away from Los Rojiblancos.
Oblak has kept 19 clean sheets this season, more than any other goalkeeper in the top five European leagues.
