He did admit though that he is after talks with PSG about his future 'at some stage'. He said on Twitter: "Rumours about my future are totally unfounded even if I understand that the media must tell or write some stories and that Paris Saint-Germain attract a lot of attention.

"I want to say that I am attached to the club which has the ambition to win everything, to the city of Paris, and that I concentrate on my season. All that is said about me is false! We will talk about my future in-house with the club."

Newcastle boss Rafael Benitez supposedly wanted to bring in a new goalkeeper over the summer, and did target Areola as a possible signing but was put off upon finding he would cost upwards of £12m.

Areola, whose current deal expires in the summer of 2019, may have denied the links to Newcastle, but claims have been made that the 24-year-old has been unsettled at the Parc des Prince since the club tried to sign Jan Oblak from Atletico Madrid and Pepe Reina from Napoli.
