Ezequiel Lavezzi Player Profile
Lavezzi, 30, has reportedly rejected a renewal at PSG and will seek a new club this winter.
Under transfer rules he is free to negotiate terms with other clubs within six months of his current deal ending.
Indeed, that situation had attracted Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger to the player, according to various claims.
Wenger is understood to be considering his transfer options after failing to bolster his outfield during last summer.
Lavezzi has already snubbed the chance to join Barcelona, Tuttosport report, and is said to be keen on seeing out the rest of his contract at the Ligue 1 champions.
The Argentina international has scored just two goals in 17 appearances for his club this season.
