The future of Rayan Cherki does not really take shape in Lyon. At the end of the season, the 20-year-old player made numerous media outings which strongly resembled farewells. As a souvenir, he even had rings made for his Lyon partners trained like him at OL. Finally, despite a proposed extension made by OL until 2028, the contract offered by Les Gones has little chance of attracting Cherki as it stands.
To stay, Lyon asks him for a big pay cut. As it currently stands, all the conditions seem to be in place to force the player to pack up. And that’s good, his courtiers are showing up. Recently, Paris Saint-Germain made an offer of €15 million including €3 million in bonuses. An amount not high enough for residents of Rhodan who also hope for a percentage on the resale.
NAK does not want to discuss with the Mbappé
Parisian interest is real, especially since behind the scenes the Luis Enrique-Luis Campos tandem is pushing to recruit the French Olympic international. But according to our information, the recruitment of Rayan Cherki to OL is still far from being completed and for good reason. As it stands, the relations between Nasser Al-Khelaïfi and Fayza Lamari, Kylian Mbappé’s mother, are clearly not at their best. It is therefore difficult to imagine the PSG president validating the Rayan Cherki operation.
A situation which could benefit another long-time courtier of the former Lyonnais. According to our information, Borussia Dortmund, which has been following Cherki for two years as we revealed to you at the time, is also very interested. The Marsupials have not yet made an offer, but they strongly appreciate this type of technical player profile in need of revival. Jadon Sancho can confirm this. The Bundesliga has also amply demonstrated that it can boost the stagnant careers of L1 players.
