Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana is wanted by PSG as the Ligue 1 champions look to find a replacement for Edinson Cavani who looks set to make the switch to Major League Soccer.
Lallana has struggled with injuries in recent times and as a result he has seen his role diminish at Liverpool under boss Jurgen Klopp.
The 31-year-old is in the final year of his contract with the Reds and would be available to discuss terms with a foreign club in January about securing a free transfer move in the summer.
Since his return from injury the midfielder has made eight appearances in all competitions this season, but has predominately been used as a substitute.

However, according the to Mirror, PSG see the former England international as an ideal replacement for the out going Cavani.
The report claims Cavani is swapping Paris for Los Angeles to fill the vacant position left by Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
And the subsequent move could suit Liverpool as it would take Lallana’s substantial wages off their books.
It is understood Lallana earns £7million-a-season, which means he is an expensive squad player given his limited minutes.

Lallana joined Liverpool back in 2014, when the Reds paid £25million to Southampton for the attacking midfielder.
In his first three seasons at Anfield the player was a key member of the squad, however, injures limited him to just 32 appearances in the last two seasons combined.
Following his recovery, the player admitted he was left shocked when Klopp hadn’t even selected him for the matchday squad for Liverpool’s season opener against Norwich City.
“I didn't make the squad for the first game of the season [against Norwich City] and that was a bit of an eye-opener,” Lallana said.
“I didn't see that happening. I hadn't experienced that since I was growing up at Southampton.”’
