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 for the winter. Today, Sacha Tavolieri confirmed the Parisian club’s interest in Cherki. OL’s finances are crying out for an influx of cash, and the young Lyon player could be that saviour. President Nasser Al-Khelaïfi is also delighted with his change of agent.
“Confirmation: PSG are interested in Cherki!
Parisian directors, led by Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, are taking a positive view of the change in the OL player’s situation.
Will Rayan Cherki save OL’s finances this winter?
Sacha Tavolieri.”
It has to be said, everything seems to point to Cherki’s departure. Lyon need liquidity, and the player needs better exposure. As for PSG, an extra creative player wouldn’t go amiss, but the competition will be strong.
We’re talking about Liverpool, even if the English club will find it difficult to give him as much play as the Parisian club. We’ll be keeping a close eye on this dossier, as all the indicators seem to be in the green, especially as the player has shown great promise since the start of the season.
