Last month Newcastle were interested in completing a move for PSG goalkeeper Alphonse Areola this summer. According to new reports, Rafa Benitez’s side are not the only ones interested in making a move for Alphonse Areola this summer.
Serie A side Napoli are said to be rivalling the Premier League side for the Frenchman’s signature. GFFN via Canal Plus have reported that new boss Carlo Ancelotti has personally called Areola, offering him a four-year contract deal to join the Italians this summer.
In addition to this, Ancelotti is offering a salary worth €4m (£3.5m) per year, which is the same reported figure that Areola has demanded from the Ligue 1 champions in order to extend his existing deal.
