Le Parisien reporter Laurent Perrin has suggested the the Ligue 1 club discussed a swap deal for Rooney with Edinson Cavani, with PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi an admirer of the England man.
Even though Manchester United have been previously linked with a move for Cavani, Rooney is at the centre of new boss Louis van Gaal’s plans next season.
The 28-year-old has been excellent in pre-season and is likely to be handed the captain’s armband for the Premier League curtain raiser against Swansea on Saturday lunchtime; the England man also signed a new deal at Old Trafford in February.
"We [PSG] discussed a trade with Rooney,” wrote Perrin.
"The only problem was that you can never play Rooney on the right as you do with [Edinson] Cavani.
"So either we change the system, but, Laurent Blanc actually doesn’t want either of them on the right and prefers Lucas."
