PSG President Nasser Al Khelaifi believes ‘any team would want’ Gigi Buffon, but confirms  Alphonse Areola will remain the club’s number one.

“Buffon is a fantastic goalkeeper, charismatic, and a true gentleman, but our first choice is Areola and he will be next season as well”

On the other hand 25-year-old Areola, whose own deal ends in June 2019 said: “Because if I’m not the number one anymore, it would mean the season I’ve just finished has all counted for nothing”

PSG, who won the French league title in 2018, will be taken over by coach Thomas Tuchel next season. He succeeds Spanish Unai Emery.
