Lloris is the next on the wishlist for the super-rich Parisians.
After signing Yohan Cabaye from Newcastle United in the January transfer window, Paris Saint-Germain now want to bring in Tottenham Hotspur’s Hugo Lloris, according to the Daily Express.
Money is no object for the super-rich Ligue 1 champions and they will try and tempt the north London club into parting with their goalkeeper with a £16.5m offer.
PSG bought Cabaye from Newcastle for £19m and are seemingly looking to continue to do their shopping in the Premier League with these advances for Lloris.
President at the Parc des Princes Nasser Al-Khelaifi is looking to add more French players to the side and views the France captain as the ideal choice.
Lloris has worked with current PSG manager Laurent Blanc previously, when the former Manchester United defender was in charge of the national team and the club thinks the lure of Champions League football can convince the 27-year-old.
The stopper has admitted that top European football remains Tottenham’s priority this season, but if they were to miss out again then he would have to consider his future at White Hart Lane.
“The objective is to reach the Champions League. After that, it’s to close the gap on the biggest teams in the league,” Lloris said.
“Without Champions League football? I’ve not thought about it. I must weigh things up at the end of the season.”
PSG are also looking to sign Chelsea ace Eden Hazard and Paul Pogba of Juventus in the summer, as the Parisians continue to build on the success that saw them win their first Ligue 1 title in 17 years in 2012/13.
