Christophe Galtier has admitted PSG will 'respect' and 'listen' to Keylor Navas if he expresses his desire to leave the club this month amid links with Nottingham Forest.
Forest are reportedly keen on signing the 36-year-old before Tuesday's deadline with current number one Dean Henderson currently on the sidelines injured. That said, reports have been conflicting in the last 24 hours as to whether Forest will push the button on a new 'keeper, with the Independent stating Henderson will only miss one more league match.
On the other hand, various other outlets are stating that Forest remain interested and there is a good chance that a deal is completed before the window slams shut. Navas has been one of the best goalkeepers in the world in recent years and joined PSG in 2019 after winning three Champions Leagues at Real Madrid.

Double departure?
Nottingham Forest are reportedly willing to let two of their summer transfers depart before Tuesday's deadline.
That is according to the Daily Mirror, who claim Forest are set to listen to offers for both Lewis O'Brien and Harry Toffolo after their joint £10 million arrival from Huddersfield Town in July. Following the arrivals of Gustavo Scarpa, Danilo and Chris Wood - with more potentially to come - Steve Cooper needs to trim his squad in order to register it with the Premier League for the second half of the season.
Clubs will have to submit their revised squad list to the league once the January window draws to a close. They can contain no more than 25 players, with a maximum of 17 who do not fulfil the Home Grown Player quota, and an unlimited number of under 21s.
And in order to meet those specifications, it appears as though O'Brien and Toffolo are most at risk of a departure. O'Brien began the season as a regular but has not started since a 4-0 defeat at Leicester City at the beginning of October, and has also failed to make two of the last three matchday squads.
Price tag revealed
Nottingham Forest will have to pay £26 million for Allan Saint-Maximin to tempt Newcastle United into selling.
That is according to Gianluca Di Marzio, via Daily Express, who claim the Magpies have placed this valuation on him amid interest from Serie A side AC Milan. Saint Maximin's representatives are said to have held talks with the Rossoneri, but at this stage, they would be unable to meet the current asking price.
Forest are among the teams to have been linked with the Frenchman this month, with the Telegraph reporting Steve Cooper's side enquired about his availability during talks over a deal for Chris Wood. Wood, of course, made the switch to the City Ground from Newcastle last week on an initial loan deal.
Despite Newcastle's superb campaign so far, it has been a tough season on a personal level for Saint-Maximin. He has started just four league games so far this term, with the last of those coming away at Wolves in August, where he netted his only goal of the campaign.
New job
Nottingham Forest supporters are pleased to see Sabri Lamouchi back in management after his appointment at Cardiff City.
Lamouchi has put pen-to-paper on a deal until the end of the season and becomes the Bluebirds' third manager of the season already following Steve Morison and Mark Hudson. The 51-year-old will be tasked keeping Cardiff in the Championship as they sit just three points and one place above the bottom three.
This will be Lamouchi's first job back in English football since his exit from Forest back in October 2020, with the Frenchman establishing himself as a fan favourite during his time with the club. He spent 10 months managing at Qatar side Al-Duhail in between his departure from Forest and arrival in South Wales.
Here is what Forest fans have been saying following confirmation Lamouchi's arrival back in English football.
