At the end of his contract with Olympique Lyonnais, Rayan Cherki has still not extended his contract with his training club. And the Olympic vice-champion has already refused this last door that was offered to him.
Two days before the end of the transfer window in Turkey, OL’s leaders were waiting to find out if Rayan Cherki would respond favorably to a proposal from Galatasaray. The Istanbul club was in fact the latest to make an offer to the attacking midfielder from Olympique Lyonnais. Entering the final year of his commitment to John Textor’s club, Cherki had first been mentioned at PSG, where an agreement had been reached in June, but which was ultimately forgotten following a supposed contact with Borussia Dortmund. Except that the German club did not follow through on the matter, leaving the 21-year-old player without a solution, even if Italian clubs also came to get information before leaving while waiting for Rayan Cherki to eventually be free. Because while The team announced a possible contract extension in Lyon for the silver medalist of the Paris Olympic Games, Galatasaray suddenly entered the dance.
Cherki responded to Turkey
In Turkey, the transfer window only closes this Friday, and this could be an opportunity for Cherki to discover a new club and a new championship at a time when he knows that Pierre Sage will not give him any gifts. But, 48 hours before the deadline in Turkey, FootMercato reveals this Wednesday that the Lyon player has finally refused to sign with Galatasaray, and more generally in Turkey. In other words, Rayan Cherki will be in the Olympique Lyonnais squad at least until the winter transfer window of 2025. It remains to be seen whether by that date he will sign an extension which would obviously change everything in the player’s future. A happy ending is always possible for the one who has long been considered the future wonder of OL and French football, but it is difficult to confirm all that.
