Standard Sport understand Spurs are making plans for life after Hugo Lloris, with the long-serving club captain expected to leave upon the expiration of his contract in 2024.
As such, Oblak has emerged as the club’s primary target and has been sounded out over a potential move. Manchester United, however, could offer competition for one of Europe’s leading goalkeepers over the past few years.
For their part, Atletico are open to discussing the 29-year-old’s future after almost a decade of service in the Spanish capital.
A key component in Diego Simeone’s side, the Slovenian international starred in Atleti’s most recent LaLiga title win in 2021 and has also lifted the Europa League following a 2014 move from Benfica.
Speaking to BBC Sport in 2021, Oblak said: “The Premier League has strong teams, maybe the strongest
"I don’t know what the future will bring, but I am sure that in any league I would play in I could play well.
"I have now been in Spain for seven years. Let’s see. I’m still young and I still have some years in front of me. The most important thing for me is the hope that I do not have a lot of injuries, and then we’ll see."
