The victim, aged 24, has alleged that the fullback raped her at his home in Paris on Saturday, 25 February.
It is said prosecutors opened an investigation into the matter after the woman went to a police station to report the incident.
However, it is understood that she has not filed charges against the former Real Madrid star as of yet.
The French public prosecutor's office are believed to be upset at widespread reports on the matter due to concerns they could "undermine the investigation process".
It remains unconfirmed if the defender will still play for PSG this season as the investigation takes place.
