TV station Al-Jazeera have reported that, after lengthy discussions between board members at the Parc des Princes over the weekend, QIA are ready to pull the trigger and turn to former Liverpool boss Benitez.
"Rafael Benitez is in Liverpool tonight having dinner with his family," said Manolo Garcia Quilon. "There is absolutely nothing going on at this time with the Paris-SG.
"Rafa insists there is nothing with PSG. He never talked to the club and he has no Paris trip in his agenda in the coming days."
