Following PSG's 3-1 home defeat to Barcelona on Wednesday in the Champions League quarter-finals first leg, Cavani quashed the speculation when he told Sky Italia: "There is too much talk about my future but I will remain here.

"I will respect my contract and I'm only focusing on doing well for PSG."

Cavani joined PSG in a £50million deal in 2013 and is under contract with the Ligue 1 giants until June 2018.

The South American has scored eight goals in 28 domestic league appearances for PSG this season and has also struck six times in nine Champions League appearances for Laurent Blanc's side.

PSG are second in the Ligue 1 standings, two points adrift of league leaders Lyon but have a game in hand.

They have also reached the French Cup final and are alive in the Champions League.
