Laurent Blanc has admitted striker Edinson Cavani is unhappy with his role in the Paris Saint-Germain first-team system.

Cavani, who signed for a reported fee of 64.5 million euros from Napoli in 2013, has regularly been deployed in a wide position with the French champion, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic accommodated in a central role.

The Uruguay international has scored 13 goals in 24 appearances this season but a report in L'Equipe on Tuesday claimed he has finally grown tired of his role under Blanc and will push for a transfer at the end of the season.

Blanc concedes his formation does not play to Cavani's strengths but has praised him for his goal return.

"Our system does not allow Cavani to show his qualities at 100 per cent, and yet his statistics are good," Blanc told a media conference. "I can imagine that Cavani wants us to play differently but I also have a group to satisfy.

"I have a great trust and admiration for Edi. [But] football is a team sport. The results are good and the majority of the players love the way we play. It's hard to have a change of tactics for one player, we have the results and the play fits my philosophy."

Blanc also played down suggestions that Cavani's situation is becoming problematic for PSG, following a meeting in Doha during the mid-season break.

He continued: "I want to be precise. There were six of us during this meeting in Doha. We have several in the year to talk about everything, things to improve...

"We talked about Cavani, yes. We talked about the team, players, medical staff. But Cavani is not a problem. There is a situation that had to be discussed. It was a behaviour problem."
