Liverpool take on Tottenham in Madrid on June 1 as they look to seal a historic sixth Champions League triumph.
Jurgen Klopp’s men are hoping to banish memories of their 3-1 defeat at the hands of Real Madrid this time last year, with Milner being a key player in both campaigns.
The ex-England international reportedly has another year on his contract but could be tempted by a move to a club that boasts talent such as Kylian Mbappe and Neymar.
According to French outlet Le Parisien, the club are interesting in adding another experienced midfielder to their ranks, and see Milner as a cheap - but proven option.
The report also claims that PSG are willing to sell several first-team players this summer, including former Stoke man Eric Choupo-Moting and Manchester United target Thomas Meunier.
Milner, 33, won’t be letting the rumoured interest get in the way of his preparations for Saturday’s Champions League final at Atletico Madrid’s Wanda Metropolitano Stadium, as he looks to add European glory to his honours list.
He told the Mail: “Since I've been at the club, I've been desperate to win something for Liverpool.
“That's what the club demands and expects. You walk into the training ground every day and you see the numbers under each trophy.

“I’ve been desperate to get someone in to change those. Losing the title can work for us.
“If we'd won the title, then the Champions League final might have felt like a bonus.
“The danger was that we ended up with nothing — and we still might — but the memory of losing out to [Manchester City] drives us on.”
Liverpool beat Barcelona 4-0 at Anfield in the second-leg of their Champions League semi-final clash to overcome a 3-0 deficit, and Milner has now spoken out on his ferocious conversation with Lionel Messi that took place during the match.

He continued: “He wasn't happy.
“He was giving me plenty in Spanish going down the tunnel at half-time as well.
“He was calling me 'burro'. It translates as donkey but I think it's also used in Spanish football as a general term for someone who goes around kicking people.
“I asked him if he was all right, but he wasn't having it. I don't think he realised I understood his Spanish.“
