The Argentine attacker says the worst thing about the game is that everyone is motivated by their own interests and will not remain in sport once he retires

Paris Saint-Germain forward Ezequiel Lavezzi has admitted he occasionally thinks of quitting football and hates the attitude of people within the game.

Liverpool, Arsenal and Inter are thought to be interested in the Argentina international, who fuelled rumours of an impending departure from PSG when he and striker Edinson Cavani missed the club’s mid-season training camp in Morocco.

It remains to be seen whether Lavezzi will be with the French side beyond January and the 29-year-old has now conceded he is growing increasingly disillusioned with the world of football.

“Sometimes I think about giving it all up. It’s a thought running through my head today, not just in the past,” Lavezzi told Marca Plus.

“Once I leave football, I will not continue with the world of sport. Right now I don’t know what I might do.

“Certainly the best thing that ties me to football is the possibility of living well, discovering new cultures, and spending time with my family when it’s possible – I enjoy it all the more.

“The worst aspect of it is the environment, everyone is powered by their own interests. It’s not all what it looks like from outside.”

Lavezzi remains quiet on talk of a move away and insists he wants further glory with PSG, with whom he has already won two Ligue 1 titles and a Coupe de la Ligue crown.

“I’m here and I aspire to reaching the highest point for me,” he added. “The Parisian club has grown in terms of its football and institutional dimensions.

“Now they have an idea of football that is better defined than it was at the beginning, there is a football project. But it’s all a matter of time and hard work.

“I’d like to win the Champions League or the next Copa America, and on a more personal level, I’d like to live happily with my family.”
