Cabaye wants to leave and the Magpies are braced for a bid from the French giants in the next couple of weeks.
And while new director of football Joe Kinnear has said the club aren’t looking to sell Cabaye, it hasn’t put off cash-rich PSG.
The Ligue 1 champions appointed former France boss Laurent Blanc as their new manager last week to replace Real Madrid-bound Carlo Ancelotti.
Blanc is a big fan of Cabaye, and made him an integral part of the national team when he was in charge.
And reports in France claim PSG are planning an £18m offer for the midfielder.
Owner Mike Ashley has shown in the past that every player has his price.
Cabaye has been linked with a number of clubs since the end of the season, with Monaco one of those interested in the 27-year-old.
And - at the end of the day - if he decides he wants to move on, as obviously he does, United will be hard pressed to keep him.
