In great financial difficulty, Olympique Lyonnais needs liquidity in the transfer window and will have to sell. This is good news, a long-time interested party is preparing to formulate a new offer for Rayan Cherki.
Olympique Lyonnais is in the red financially. In recent days, the DNCG has pronounced an administrative relegation to Ligue 2 as a precautionary measure at the end of the current season. With a debt of 500 million euros, John Textor is looking for levers to activate to get both his group and the Rhone club out of this delicate situation. In a little over a month, the winter transfer window will open, and OL will seek to sell certain players to obtain transfer compensation. This is good, a club that has already expressed interest in a player is about to return to the charge in the coming weeks. As stated by Give Me Sport, Fulham plans to once again approach Lyon management to secure the services of the attacking midfielder.
Fulham does not let go of Cherki, OL negotiates at 30ME
According to the source, the arrival this summer of Emile Smith-Rowe from Arsenal in the same position did not calm the enthusiasm of the Cottagers, who had offered 15 million euros to Lyon during the summer transfer window. The main person concerned had declined and had not joined the Premier League. Currently in mid-table in the Championship, Fulham have not given up on the idea of signing the 21-year-old. For its part, Olympique Lyonnais is not in a strong position and knows that in the event of an interesting offer, it will be difficult to be too greedy. OL are ready to start negotiations about Cherki but they will have to offer a minimum amount of 30 million euros for this. The London club nevertheless knows that competition is fierce in this matter, especially since PSG, Dortmund and even Leipzig had tried their luck in recent months.
