Things have been hectic for Rayan Cherki these last few days. After finally being summoned by Thierry Henry to play in the 2024 Olympic Games, the attacking midfielder from Olympique Lyonnais risks having to manage his future before the start of the tournament. Under contract until 2025, the 20-year-old had strongly implied that this 2023/2024 season (3 goals, 9 assists in 39 matches, all competitions combined) would be his last with his training club.
“These moments will remain forever engraved in my heart. I would like to thank everyone, all the people I met here, those who helped me when it was hard, but also those who criticized me, because it is thanks to them that I am here. I will never regret staying“. Since then, the Gones have been playing a game of lying poker in this matter. Recently, we revealed to you exclusively that OL were clearly open to a transfer to replenish their coffers, but that a major English club had rejected Cherki, concerned about his behavior.
Barcola spoke with Cherki
Ready to let go of its player, the Rhone club would have nevertheless made him an offer of an extension until 2028. Except that this proposal is accompanied by a significant salary reduction. From there to think that it is an indirect message to force Cherki to leave? Such a scenario cannot be excluded. Today, The Team announces that a new event has occurred in this file. Paris Saint-Germain took action.
The daily claims that the capital club offered OL an offer of €15 million including €3 million in bonuses to buy out the last year of the Lyon number 18’s contract. Enough to convince Les Gones who were hoping for €25 million? The next few days will tell us. According to our information, two factors could play in favor of an arrival at PSG. First, Bradley Barcola, who left OL to join the capital, spoke with Cherki. And secondly, the Rhone player is clearly not interested in the extension offer made by his leaders.
