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 circulating that Paris is interested in the player for the winter. This Saturday, PSG Inside Actus assures us that PSG are indeed interested, thanks to a strong decision by the player.
For the first time, and I repeat, it wasn’t the case before. Paris is considering recruiting Rayan #Cherki. The fact that the player has changed agent changes the situation for PSG.”
Last October, Cherki changed agents. Whereas he was represented by Fayza Lamari, the mother of Kylian Mbappé (who has a particularly strained relationship with PSG), the Lyon-born player is now with Moussa Sissoko. We can’t guarantee that this will generate interest from Paris, but it’s easier to talk to the man who manages the affairs of 27-year-old Parisian striker Ousmane Dembélé.
So we’re cautious, there’s nothing concrete yet. But Cherki is a talented player in a sector where PSG seem to be a little short of players. At the very least, he fits in with the idea of recruiting young talent to help them grow as part of a strong team.
It remains to be seen whether an attempt will be made and whether a deal could be struck. We can envisage it with the player, even if it’s not a sure thing, as it could be complicated with Lyon. Not to mention the possible competition in this dossier. Pari may also have other ideas. In any case, for the time being, the player is keeping his future a mystery.
