French club believe there was a motive behind all the talk of signing the England ace

The Manchester United academy product, 26, only signed a £325,000-a-week agreement until 2028 last summer.
And sources have told SunSport that PSG believe the talk was only used to improve the terms of his contract offer.
A source said: “PSG have never been interested in signing Marcus.
“And given his struggles on and off the pitch this season, they have given it no consideration at all. He will not be moving to PSG.

“He might benefit from the noise around a possible transfer going away so he can concentrate on reigniting his United career.”
The England ace played all of Saturday's 2-2 Premier League draw at Bournemouth.
But he once more struggled to make a real impact - let alone match his sizzling form of last season.
Two equalisers from Bruno Fernandes, including a controversial penalty, rescued the Red Devils.

But the fortunate point was United's fourth Prem game in a row without a win.
And they now sit seventh, 10 points off the top four.

Boss Erik Ten Hag said: "We have to win our games and we have dropped too many unnecessary points in the last few games."
But he praised the key influence of Fernandes in another match where United lacked threat in attack.
The Dutchman said: "Scoring twice, very creative, it's true he gives a lot of energy to the team.
"He is acting as a captain, bringing the energy and we are very pleased with this."
Tuchel showed why he could be the perfect man for Man Utd, says Andy Dillon

TOMMY TUCHEL could not have done it better had he submitted his CV to LinkedIn or Indeed.
Somehow mustering some gumption from the worst Bayern Munich team in more than a decade to stop a rampant Arsenal dead in their tracks is a spectacular job advert for a manager soon to be looking for work.
If Sir Jim Ratcliffe wasn’t watching from his Old Trafford office or from the cinema room in one of his tax havens, he should have been.
They may have even sat up and taken notice in Newcastle or in the owners’ Riyadh hub as Tuchel reminded everyone of his credentials as a top-level coach with devilish timing.
If change is coming then Tuchel is playing a trump card.
His side turned up and cowed the team that, as far as the current Premier League goes, is the best in England.
It may only add to the questions around Tuchel that after tossing away the only league easier to win than Scotland’s or Spain’s, Munich have sprung to life in Europe.
After 11 years unopposed as German champions, Chelsea’s former manager has chucked it in at home in a remarkable act of ineptitude. But freak years can happen.
Tuchel is an enigma. But that is part of the appeal as much as winning the Champions League with Chelsea just three months after taking the job.
With no new signings, he took a team that had lost five of the previous ten games and turned them into European Champions.
With Ratcliffe considering swingeing budget cuts at Old Trafford, a coach who can perform wonders on peanuts would be music to his ears.
