During these conversations, Benitez is said to have asked Areola if he would join him not only at Newcastle, but at any other future club that he becomes the manager of, with the Spaniard not certain to stay with the Magpies this summer, owing to the lack of money available for transfers.

Crystal Palace and Napoli are interested in Areola too, with the Frenchman having recently bought a property in London, a city that his wife adores.
