Paris St-Germain's Champions League campaign is set to conclude in August, marking the end of an era for two of the club's most iconic players: Edinson Cavani and Thiago Silva.
According to PSG's sporting director, Leonardo, both players are set to leave the club this summer, bringing an end to their illustrious careers with the French champions.
Uruguay striker Cavani, 33, is PSG's record scorer with 200 goals, while Brazil defender Silva, 35, has been the club's captain.
Leonardo told Le Journal du Dimanche: 'It was a difficult decision to make – they are players who made their mark on the club's history.'
Both players' contracts are due to expire on 30 June, and with Ligue 1 cancelled in April, the Champions League is set to be completed in August with a mini-tournament behind closed doors.
PSG resume training on 22 June and are already through to the Champions League quarter-finals after beating Borussia Dortmund in March.
When asked about the future of forwards Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, Leonardo said: 'Nothing tells us otherwise. They still have two years on their contracts and we're more thinking about the future with them.'
