And according to outlet Paris United, the 28-year-old has been spotted in the French capital today.
The report says he is staying at the Royal Monceau hotel and could be working on a deal with the Ligue 1 side.

"Alexis Sanchez is currently at the Royal Monceau, a Parisian hotel in the 8th arrondissement," Paris United tweeted.
"Alexis inquired of some Arsenal team-mates about the city of Paris and Ligue 1."
French broadcaster Canal Supporters has backed up the claims and insist the Chilean is in Paris to finalise his move with PSG sporting director Antero Henrique.
"Canal Supporters is able to confirm this info. Alexis finalises his contract with Henrique," they tweeted.
The Sun have since confirmed Sanchez is in the French capital and claim the Royal Monceau hotel is one frequently used by PSG to finalise deals with players.
The 28-year-old is said to have arrived by limousine at the £600-a-night hotel this afternoon.
“His business here is confidential, but we are very used to having superstar footballers staying," a source told The Sun.
The Royal Monceau is a half-hour drive from the Parc des Princes and Jese Rodriguez stayed there for a number of months following his summer move from Real Madrid last year.

The reports fly in the face of recent claims from Wenger who said this week Sanchez will not be sold.
"The decision has been made and we will stick to that," the Arsenal boss said.
"The decision is not to sell."
Sanchez made 51 appearances for the Gunners last term, scoring 30 goals and is under contract until June 2018.
