Paris Saint-Germain manager Thomas Tuchel has said he expects striker Edinson Cavani to remain with the Ligue 1 champions despite rumours linking the Uruguayan with a move to Atletico Madrid.

Tuchel spoke to reporters on Saturday about Cavani and midfielder Leandro Paredes, who have both attracted speculation due to a lack of game time at the club in 2019-20.

"Paredes played a lot during the end of last year. He showed he is capable of being an important player and can influence our game. As for Edinson, I've said it before – it was difficult when he picked up an injury as he lost his rhythm and others played well.
