Paris St Germain's all-time record goalscorer Edinson Cavani has told the French giants he wants to leave, the club's sporting director Leonardo has revealed.

Axar.az reports citing ITV that Cavani has helped PSG win 18 trophies including five Ligue 1 titles since joining from Napoli in 2013, scoring a club-record 198 goals in all competitions.

However, the Uruguay international, who turns 33 next month, has found opportunities limited this season and is now keen to call time on his Parc des Princes stay.

Speaking after PSG's Coupe de France win at Lorient on Sunday, Leonardo confirmed Cavani's decision and said they had already turned down a bid from Atletico Madrid for the striker.
