Rayan Cherki, Olympique Lyonnais’ 21-year-old striker under contract until 2026 following his extension last summer, was announced as one of Paris Saint-Germain’s concrete targets for the summer mercato. Rumors are now rife of a Parisian interest in the winter. Foot Mercato reports on Thursday that Liverpool are also interested.
“According to our information, PSG and Liverpool are the two hottest clubs in this dossier. They are also pushing to get their hands on Rayan Cherki as early as January 2025.
The idea is to secure the services of the Lyon player as quickly as possible, but also to avoid the competition, which will be even fiercer next summer. It remains to be seen what the player and OL, whose relations with PSG are frosty, intend to do.”
We remain cautious, there is no official confirmation. But we hope that the media don’t insist on PSG’s interest in Cherki at random. There may at least be an attempt.
But there’s no telling where it might lead. Not least because the presidents of the two clubs hate each other. Also, because Lyon’s talent undoubtedly attracts other clubs. And we don’t know how much effort PSG would have to make, while other leads are being pursued. So let’s wait and see.
