On Friday Arsene Wenger claimed that he would not be afraid to spend a big sum on the right kind of player, and may be tempted to splash out on the South American hit man as he heads for the exit at the Parc des Princes.
Wenger had previously been linked with a £51 million move for Cavani earlier in the summer, but the Ligue 1 side had been hoping to keep hold of him. However, their stance has since changed as his presence in the side has threatened their ambitions of signing Di Maria.
Reports in France have suggested that PSG have resurrected talks with Real Madrid and negotiations are at an advanced stage.
PSG will need to move a player on if they are to sign the Argentine and the proposed £51 million fee would go a long way to eating up what they would have to give Madrid.
