Olympique Lyonnais’ undesirables are making headlines! At a time when the Rhone club needs to find around €70 million to meet the demands of the DNCG, the Lyon management is working hard to find solutions. One of them is quite simple. It involves negotiating with John Textor’s potential future club or with Nottingham Forest, another club that is very friendly with OL on the transfer window.

Ernest Nuamah is thus courted by the Toffees and the Reds, while Lyon has already reached an agreement with the current red lantern of the Premier League ranking in the Orel Mangala case. For his part, Rayan Cherki was waiting. And today, The Team tells us that a turnaround is about to happen for the silver medalist at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Cherki, the return

Forced to rake in cash, OL had no choice but to push Cherki out, one year before the end of his lease. Announced to be close to Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund, the attacking midfielder saw both deals fall through. Courted by Fulham, Cherki did not want to follow up on this offer. Faced with this situation, the Gones offered him three choices: find a club capable of providing €15 million, stay a year without playing or extend his contract.

And according to the sports daily, Cherki is now open to the idea of ​​signing a new contract. The player could even benefit from a slight salary increase. A pure product of OL, the 21-year-old would thus reintegrate the first team, he who has not played since the final of the Coupe de France lost against PSG (1-2).
