[edit] Club career
Born in the Upper Carniolan town of Škofja Loka, Oblak started his career in his hometown, playing for NK Ločan. Later, he was spotted by Olimpija Ljubljana and transferred there at the age of 10. In 2009, he rejected a contract from Empoli for trials at Fulham.[1] He eventually rejected a move to the club, however, after the trials and committed his future to Olimpija and even signed a contract extension until 2011.[2]
On 1 January 2010, it was revealed he was a target for Liverpool, and had visited Anfield in a 2–1 defeat to Arsenal in December. Aston Villa and Sport Lisboa e Benfica were also tracking him.
On 14 June 2010, the Slovenian goalie signed a contract for Benfica and left his club of Olimpija.[3]
During the seasons 2010/2011 and 2011/2012 he was loaned to gain more experience to the Primeira Liga clubs Beira-Mar, Olhanense and União de Leiria.
