And while it remains unclear whether or not he will depart this summer, he has upset some of his team-mates with comments made in an interview conducted in June.
Speaking to France Football, he said: “Are people trivializing my performances? Yes, but at the same time, I don’t blame them.
“In France, they saw me grow up, they see me all the time, at PSG every weekends or in selection.
“And I’ve been scoring a lot for years. So, for people, it’s becoming normal. I’ve never complained that my performances are trivialized.
“I’m young and I’ve had the chance to It was not that long ago to be an observer, before being an actor.
“And myself, I trivialized what Messi was doing, what Cristiano Ronaldo was doing, what the great players were doing. We are in a consumer society, where ‘it’s good, but do again’.

“So, of course it attracts gossip but it doesn’t bother me because I know what I’m doing and how I do it.”

He has contributed 212 goals and 98 assists in 260 games for the club, winning five Ligue 1 titles in the process.
