MADRID, Aug. 21 (Xinhua) -- Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak appeared to confirm on Monday night that Brazilian left back Felipe Luis will leave the club in order to sign for Paris Saint Germain.

The 33-year-old is reported to have asked Atletico to allow him to leave in order to sign a 3-year contract with the French club in what would almost certainly be the last transfer of his career.

Although Felipe Luis played for Atletico in their 1-1 draw away to Valencia on Monday with Rodrigo's goal for Valencia cancelling our Angel Correa's opener for Atletico, Oblak appeared to confirm it will be the defender's last game for the club where he has spent 9 years in two different spells.

"It's a bit sad, but that's the way things are," replied Oblak when asked about his team-mate.

"He has a good opportunity and you have to respect the decision that every player makes, so we will see what happens."

Atletico have French international Lucas Hernandez who can also play on the left side of their defense and the club is reportedly asking PSG for 30 million euros to allow Felipe Luis to leave.
