Radiant since his return to the field with Olympique Lyonnais and with the France Espoirs team, Rayan Cherki has aroused envy. From several clubs, but also numerous selections. Indeed, the 21-year-old attacking midfielder is still being courted by Algeria as well as Italy, reports RMC Sport. There Squadra Azzurra also took advantage of the friendly match against Blueberries to intensify his contact with the Lyonnais’ entourage and is keen to get him back.
As a reminder, the Italian press revealed last April that Cherki was eligible for the selection coached by Luciano Spalletti, since one of his grandfathers would be from Puglia, a region in the south of Italy. RMC Sport also reports that France has not given up on the idea of him playing in the tricolor jersey either. His progress is monitored by Didier Deschamps’ staff. It remains to be seen which selection Cherki will choose to represent, he who has always represented France in the youth team (U16, U19 and U21).
