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 of a Parisian interest in the winter. On Tuesday, Foot Mercato confirmed that the Lyon man has a price on his head.
” He has changed representatives in the meantime.“
“We have been told that OL has set a starting price of €30m for negotiations. Other sources at the club are talking about a minimum price of between €30 and €35m to try and buy the Lyon player. What is certain is that the player born in 2003 is likely to experience an even busier winter mercato than the previous one, having changed representatives in the meantime.
We remain cautious, as nothing is certain yet. Whether it’s about PSG’s interest or Lyon’s price, with a possible departure or not. But it’s a price that seems very conceivable for a very talented player, who still has to prove himself at the highest level and with consistency. Not to mention that his contract is rather short.
It remains to be seen whether Paris will take action, and what discussions might be possible. It’s worth noting that the sports media differentiate between two starting points that seem to be almost the same, which makes things a little vague.
His change of agent from Kylian Mbappé’s mother, Fayza Lamari, could make things easier.
The wisest thing to do is simply to wait for something concrete to make things clearer. As rumours abound around PSG, we’ll have to be cautious and patient.
