PSG will not sell Aurier over police altercation - Al-Khelaifi

Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has stressed the Ligue 1 champions have no intention of selling Serge Aurier following his recent police altercation.

The right-back was arrested on Sunday in the French capital, allegedly due to an assault on a police officer after his car was stopped shortly after he left a nightclub.

"Aurier was placed in custody, but we still don't know exactly what happened," Al-Khelaifi told Le Parisien.

"This case was blown out of proportion because of Serge's past. We will have to await the judge's verdict on September 26.

"He will not leave PSG this summer. I would feel very guilty if we transferred him and it would turn out he did not do anything wrong."
