Cavani laments his 'hardest three years' at PSG

"I have had the three hardest years of my career," Cavani, who joined PSG from Italian side Napoli in 2013, told TF1 show Telefoot.

"There have been positives and negatives, but a player can always improve, grow and become more mature, both as a player and as a man."

Just back from international duty, Cavani was again left on the bench for PSG's Ligue 1 game at home to Nice on Saturday and is likely to remain there for Wednesday's Champions League quarter-final, first leg against Manchester City at the Parc des Princes.

The Uruguayan, who has scored 19 goals this season, is under contract in the French capital until 2018.

Despite his consistently impressive figures in front of goal, the 29-year-old has had to live in the shadow of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and his future at PSG beyond this season appears uncertain.

"I only think about giving my maximum for the next few months and of having a fantastic finish to the season, just like we did last year," Cavani adds in the interview.

"After that I am sure I will have the chance to speak to the club and with the president (Nasser Al-Khelaifi)."

Dismissing any suggestion of resentment towards Ibrahimovic, who is out of contract this summer, Cavani adds: "Ibrahimovic is having a great season. It is very important for us that he is at such a high level.

"Everything that has been written and said in the press has been invented and made up in France.

"Today our ambition is to win the Champions League. We have a better team now, more solid, and we have been playing together for a long time."
