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. Rumours are now circulating of a Parisian interest for the winter. But there is competition. Journalist Fabrizio Romano confirmed on Youtube the rumored presence of a Premier League giant in the case.
“There’s interest, yes.”
“Liverpool? It’s not something advanced. There is interest, yes. Liverpool know the player very well. They send their scouts to see his progress. We all know how talented he is, but Liverpool want to see consistency in his performances. That’s why they watch him constantly”, comments relayed by Foot National.
This journalist is generally reliable, so it’s safe to assume that Liverpool are among the suitors. The English club want to be sure of the relevance of a possible transfer.
All the same, there’s plenty to put PSG off, should they want to make a move. The Premier League is attractive, and this is one of its biggest clubs, which is also enjoying an excellent period with some fine soccer and impressive results. Enough to tempt the player.
Not to mention the significant financial resources, which could at least enable Lyon to inflate the price a little and perhaps Cherki to negotiate upwards. However, nothing is certain yet. In particular, the fact that Paris is really trying its luck. If they do, it’s important to remember that they’re also a big club with arguments to interest Cherki.
