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. RMC Sport has the story to tell. OL is in dire financial straits and could well sell its young talent. PSG like the profile, as does Luis Enrique. As we now know, the door is open.
“Olympique Lyonnais, which needs to sell to solve its financial problems, is listening to offers for its entire squad, including its young stars Malick Fofana and Rayan Cherki.
“The club would agree to sell in the event of a big offer around 30-45 million euros.”
PSG is not alone in this matter. There’s quality in the player, but to recruit him, we’ll have to look at the price. Overpaying for a player who has yet to prove himself is not a sustainable solution, especially when the club needs certainty.
On the other hand, if OL sells Cherki at a “reasonable” price, then PSG would do well to take an interest. He does everything better than Lee Kang-in, so why deprive yourself of him when the South Korean is often lined up?
