5 football stars who are underpaid

#3 Jan Oblak

Who’s currently the best goalkeeper in Europe?

Without a second thought, anyone would say Manuel Neuer but statistics tell a whole different story. In the 2015-16 season of all European Premier Division leagues, the 23-year-old Slovenian goalkeeper Jan Oblak kept the highest number of clean sheets.

The young Slovenian filled the void of Thibaut Courtois at the Vicente Calderón Stadium and some might say that he did even a better job than the Belgian International.

As a matter of fact, not all goalies can have a dynamic presence on the pitch like Gianluigi Buffon or Manuel Neuer. The goalies are often termed as the loners on the pitch who distinguished themselves not only by their shirt colour but by their confined position as well. Hence they’re often overlooked.

Oblak earns as low as £25,641 a week (Source: sportsmaza). His recent performances have caught the eyes of many big fishes around the world which can bring a high hope for a better career for Oblak but a matter of concern for his current underpaying employer.
