Message: <blockquote data-quote="Wolverine GTR" data-source="post: 23460876" data-attributes="member: 158020">Oblak expects Real Madrid to replace Ronaldo with another starAtletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak is not getting his hopes up  about Real Madrid being slack in the transfer market after losing  Cristiano Ronaldo, adamant they will bring in a genuine "star" to take  his place.Ronaldo's Madrid departure came as something of a shock after  Portugal's participation in the World Cup ended, the forward joining  Serie A champions Juventus. The Ballon d'Or holder followed Zinedine Zidane out of the club in  search of a new challenge after helping them to a third successive  Champions League title, the coach leaving because he doubted the team's  ability to keep winning after seeing them struggle in LaLiga last term.Madrid ended the domestic season third behind Barcelona and Atletico,  and while Ronaldo's departure is a boost to both of their rivals, Oblak  is expecting a major signing to be made, with Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and  Eden Hazard the most regularly linked.When asked if Ronaldo's sale gives Atletico the upper-hand in their  rivalry, Oblak told reporters: "Last season we finished in front of Real  Madrid. "Ronaldo is one of the best in history, so Madrid have lost an important player, but I'm sure they will buy another star."They will always have a great team, so it will be difficult to  say [who has the upper-hand] before the season starts. We will have to  see how the season goes." Oblak himself was tentatively linked with Liverpool towards the  conclusion of last season, though it was swiftly established he has a  €100 million (£89m/$116m) release clause in his contract, effectively  ending the speculation.As such,   Alisson became the most expensive goalkeeper in history when the Reds  agreed a deal with Roma which could reach €72.5m (£65m/$85m)  , and Oblak thinks it is a sign that those between the posts are starting to get noticed."Before there wasn't much recognition for goalkeepers," Oblak said. "I think the goalkeeper is important in the team. "Everything starts from the back and every position is important. The goalkeepers are getting recognition now."</blockquote>
