The Ligue 1 leaders are in the market for a goalkeeper to replace Salvatore Sirigu this summer and are interested in the Spurs No.1.
But it could take a massive €56 million offer to tempt Tottenham into selling one of their prize assets.
Contrary to reports, Lloris does not have a release clause in his contract which would allow him to leave the club if they do not qualify for the Champions League this season, but failing to finish in the top four could make it increasingly difficult for Spurs to keep hold of the France international.
Manchester United, who are yet to tie down David de Gea to a new contract, have been linked with Lloris, while the Frenchman dismissed suggestions from Olivier Giroud that he would be interested in joining Arsenal as "embarrassing" earlier this season.
"I heard about that [Giroud's comments]," Lloris said. "I think maybe some words were twisted, but it is embarrassing. I don't think that, I'm very focused on Spurs' ambition and I am very pleased to play for Spurs."
Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino also recently played down suggestions Lloris could look to leave the club this summer.
"Nothing has changed from four, five or six months ago, when we last spoke about the rumour," Pochettino told reporters.
"Hugo wants to play the Champions League here for Tottenham and everything else is just rumours.
"Nothing is true and nothing has changed with the situation. He is happy here and wants to reach the Champions League with Tottenham; that is his dream."
PSG, meanwhile, will have to factor Financial Fair Play restrictions into their transfer activity this summer.
The French club are expected to rival Europe's biggest sides for Paul Pogba should the Juventus midfielder become available, but, while Ezequiel Lavezzi could be sold, president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has insisted Edinson Cavani, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Javier Pastore will all remain in Paris.
