PSG attempted to make direct contact with Parma goalkeeper Zion Suzuki over the last two days.
The French club sought to clarify the situation following a failed transfer. However, the Japanese keeper's advisors prevented him from responding to the Parisians' requests.
The primary reason behind the deal's collapse was the new demands made by the player's representatives. They requested a commission of around €3 million.
PSG's hierarchy deem this payment entirely illegal under French regulations.
There are suspicions within the Parisian club that a more enticing offer has emerged from another team behind the scenes.
The leading contender for Suzuki's signature now appears to be Aston Villa. The more lenient rules regarding agent payments in the Premier League give this club a significant advantage in negotiations.
