Rayan Cherki, Olympique Lyonnais’ 21-year-old striker under contract until 2026 following his extension last summer, has been announced as one of Paris Saint-Germain’s concrete targets for the summer mercato. The rumor has recently come back for this summer. However, Foot Mercato confirms Le Parisien‘s announcement: there will be nothing.
“There is no formal offer yet, but the exit fee could be in the region of €18 million, even though the player’s contract expires at the end of next season.”
Soccer can be a fast-moving business, especially at the mercato. As long as there are only rumours, we must remain cautious. Especially in a case like this, which has been around for a long time and has been marked by numerous twists and turns.
We can’t yet rule out a new turn of events, with PSG taking advantage of OL’s financial difficulties and the fact that his contract is due to expire in 2026. However, it is also conceivable that other leads will be deemed more interesting.
As is the case every summer, we’ll need to be cautious and patient in order to get a clear picture.
