Forced to sell to balance its accounts, OL risks suffering several offensives for Rayan Cherki this winter. Juventus Turin has been added to the list of suitors for the French international hopeful.
Due to its difficult financial situation, Olympique Lyonnais could be forced to part ways with several major players as early as January. The names of Malick Fofana and Rayan Cherki have already been mentioned since the Belgian international and the French attacking midfielder are undoubtedly the two players with the highest market value within the Rhone squad. Liverpool, Real Madrid and PSG are on the lookout to recover Rayan Cherki, whose profile is also causing a stir in Serie A. And for good reason, the site All Juve affirmed at the start of the week, Thiago Motta is under the spell of the 21-year-old left-hander.
The Italian coach of Juventus Turin has also had his eye on Rayan Cherki and would like to bring him to the Bianconeri during the winter transfer window. Juve's interest in the French international hopefuls is not new. Last summer, when the player had only one year left on his contract in the capital of Gaul before extending until 2026, Juve was already in the running. But, due to a copious transfer window, the Turin club no longer had the means to submit a correct offer to OL for Cherki.
Juve gets involved in the Rayan Cherki case
This winter, due to the difficult financial situation of Lyon, administratively relegated by the DNCG, the current 6th in Serie A would take advantage of the opportunity to win with a discount offer for the attacking midfielder born in Lyon. It now remains to be seen whether John Textor will open the door to the departure of the man who is an indisputable holder in the eyes of Pierre Sage, while the American businessman promised supporters that he would not sell the best players, nor fan favorites. We now expect John Textor to keep his promises and therefore refuse all offers for Rayan Cherki this winter. Even if in reality, it will certainly be difficult to say no to offers above 20 million euros for the man who shone on Friday with the Espoirs against Italy, scoring a goal and delivering a splendid assist.
