5 top goalkeeper transfers that have happened/may still happen

#4 Alphonse Areola (PSG to AS Roma)

Areola will not want to play second fiddle again

The only man who has won the World Cup while yet to make his debut, a lot is expected of the giant goalie.

However, there has been a steady stream of rumours linking various goalkeepers to PSG; Jan Oblak, Gigi Donnarumma among others.

These stories are sure to have gotten to the 23-year-old who has reportedly asked for assurances about his future. The arrival of Gigi Buffon (on a short-term contract) from Juventus means the Frenchman may be on his way out.

AS Roma has emerged as the most likely destination for the World Cup winner as Alisson Becker already out of the way.

He is well aware of the fact that he needs regular first-team football at a UEFA Champions League club to assure his place in the France set-up.

Given his relative youth and abilities, he would make a good replacement for the Brazilian international and get the first team football he craves.

With pressure from outstanding young goalies like Alban Lafont (who also just joined Fiorentina), Areola knows he has to push to be able to take over when Hugo Lloris steps down from the national team.
