'There are negotiations' - Tuchel confirms Areola transfer talks amid Real Madrid links

Paris Saint-Germain boss Thomas Tuchel has confirmed the club are in talks over the transfer of goalkeeper Alphonse Areola after he was left out of the starting line-up for Friday’s match against Metz.

The 26-year-old was only named on the bench for the Ligue 1 encounter at the Stade Saint-Symphorien with 19-year-old Marcin Bulka, who joined the club from Chelsea this summer, making his debut for the club instead.

That sparked speculation about Areola’s future at the French champions amid reports Real Madrid are in talks over a deal for the France international.
