Despite links to Milan’s Gigio Donnarumma, Paris Saint-Germain’s sporting director Antero Henrique insists “no goalkeeper can say he's been contacted”.
The French club have been linked with the 18-year-old, and it has also been suggested he could move to Atletico Madrid, with Jan Oblak moving to Paris.
“It’s going well [with Alphonse Areola and Kevin Trapp], we’re happy,” Henrique told Le Parisien.
“Areola will probably be the future of the French national team.

“Areola will probably be the future of the French national team.
“Oblak? No, it’s not true. Moreover, no goalkeeper can can say that he has been contacted by PSG. We don’t need a goalkeeper, Alphonse Areola and Kevin Trapp are there.
“Our third goalkeeper, Rémy Descamps, will be loaned out in January and he will be replaced by Sébastien Cibois.”
But PSG did go for Napoli’s Pepe Reina in the summer…
“The situation was different, the plan was to free our second goalkeeper [Trapp] to give him the chance to play somewhere else.
“Our Coach [Unai Emery] knew Pepe Reina, but in the end it didn’t happen.”
Juventus Coach Max Allegri and Chelsea manager Antonio Conte have been linked with PSG, with some saying Unai Emery is the weak link at the Parc des Princes…
“There are Spaniards who say that, but no President and no player has ever said that Unai Emery is not a great Coach.
“In fact, everyone talks about him in a very positive way. Everyone, that is, except journalists. But it’s a fact of life for Coaches to be criticised.
“Unai is one of the best Coaches in the world, as the President [Nasser Al-Khelaifi] said before the season we’re behind him 200 per cent. 200 per cent!
“We have no doubts about him and he has all of our confidence. I can assure you that his contract is not a problem for him or for PSG, everyone is very calm about it.”
