Next winter during the transfer market, OL will need to make significant sales. And some clubs want to take advantage of this to win the Rayan Cherki case.
OL are in a more than shaky financial situation and will have to make sacrifices next winter, otherwise they will drop to Ligue 2… Some quality profiles have been announced as starters. This is the case of Maxence Caqueret, Gift Orban, Ernest Nuamah and Rayan Cherki. If the Rhone player has had a very good season so far, he will not be retained by Les Gones in the event of a good offer. Especially since the French international recently extended his contract in the Rhône for two years, which could allow OL to get a good price. According to the latest reports concerning the player, Olympique Lyonnais are waiting for nearly 30 million euros to let go of Cherki. A new club in the Premier League is also interested in his profile: Newcastle, which belongs to the famous Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia, the PIF.
Cherki, Newcastle wants to try their luck this winter in the transfer market
According to information from INews.cothe Magpies have in fact drawn up a list of players to recruit this winter. And Rhone crack is one of them. It remains to be seen how much the English club could give Lyon and whether Cherki would be interested in the possibility of signing for Newcastle. But everything suggests that its price will not be a problem. In addition to Newcastle, Liverpool, Bayer Leverkusen and PSG are also circling around Rayan Cherki, who will have no shortage of choices to continue his career if he wanted to leave OL. Note that another Ligue 1 player is in Newcastle's little papers, since Jonathan David, who will be at the end of his contract at the end of the current financial year, is a deal considered attractive by the residents of St James 'Park.
