It is claimed both Premier League clubs are keen to bring Jese, 22, to London.
The forward is understood to be seeking a way out of Madrid after failing to cement his place in Rafael Benitez's first XI.
But Benitez is adamant he wants to keep the Real youth product, who has started just six games all season, in his squad.
“I’m very happy with the work he is putting in,” Benitez said after the PSG clash.
“He even scored a goal in the last league match, so I won’t talk about the transfer market.”
