It is understood De Gea is pushing for a move to the Spanish capital where his wife works as a TV reporter.
Dean Henderson is currently manning the post for United after De Gea was given a six-match leave to witness the birth of his child.
The Reds Devils have been long term admirers of Oblak as well as AC Milan's Gianluigi Donnarumma and Lille's Mike Maignan.

However, Oblak's £103million buy-out clause has proved to be a stumbling block to get the Atelti goalie into their squad.
The Slovenian still has two years left on his deal and the La Liga leader are likely to allow him to leave for less.
