In Olympic form with OL, since his extension at OL until 2026 (with an option for 2027), Rayan Cherki is a player of immense talent, who never ceases to raise questions. L'Equipe discusses the subject in detail this Friday. On his future first of all, if the club wishes to keep him until the end of the season to aim for qualification in the Champions League, financial constraints could force a sale. Thiago Almada, Argentine attacking midfielder playing at Botafogo (also owned by John Textor), could arrive in Lyon in January, potentially to replace Cherki.
Cherki dreams… of Real Madrid
For his part, Cherki dreams of Real Madrid but could aim for other horizons. Liverpool are interested in him, while the Bundesliga attracts for its progression opportunities. PSG could also return to the charge, driven by the interest of Luis Campos. With an estimated value of €25 million, Cherki is in an advantageous position. On the international level, indecision is the order of the day. Eligible for France, Algeria (via his mother) and Italy (through his father), he does not close any doors. Algeria has intensified its efforts, while Italy remains attentive. To join Deschamps' A, Cherki will in any case have to confirm regularly at the highest level, in tough competition, particularly against profiles like Michael Olise or Maghnes Akliouche.
