And both will instead be forced to look for new clubs after their years of service.

Uruguay international Cavani, 32, joined PSG from Napoli for £55million in 2013.

He has scored 195 goals in 282 games for the Ligue 1 champions, winning five titles, four French cups, five league cups and four Champions trophies in the process.



However, Cavani has been hit by injuries this season, making just three appearances in all competitions so far.

And the arrival of Mauro Icardi from Inter Milan could see game time limited throughout the rest of the campaign.

Options should be plentiful for Cavani though, with David Beckham reportedly looking to take him to new MLS side Inter Miami.

Chelsea and Man Utd were linked with Cavani last season.

And Inter Milan almost bid for him before landing Romelu Lukaku.

Atletico Madrid nearly moved to sign Cavani as a replacement for Diego Costa as well.

Teammate Thiago Silva, 35, is in his seventh season at the Parc des Princes after joining from AC Milan for £36m in 2012.

He too has won plenty during his time in France, including six Ligue 1 titles.

But despite making 284 appearances, PSG have no plans to retain his services past the end of the season.

PSG have plenty of other centre-backs in reserve, including Marquinhos, Presnel Kimpembe and Abdou Diallo.
