Close to obtaining the signature of Rayan Cherki last summer, Borussia Dortmund finally canceled his arrival. A few months later, the German club could well return to the attack for the attacking midfielder of Olympique Lyonnais. But this time, the operation promises to be more complicated.
Under pressure from the DNCG, Olympique Lyonnais refuses to give in. For the moment, John Textor's club has only sold unwanted players like Anthony Lopes, Maxence Caqueret and soon Ernest Nuamah, leaving for Everton. The departures of major elements do not seem to be on the cards despite the need to rebalance the accounts. It will still be necessary to follow these last weeks of the transfer window during which Rayan Cherki could be the subject of offers.
Given the tensions between the American owner and Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, Paris Saint-Germain should not reappear on this issue. On the other hand, a return from Borussia Dortmund cannot be ruled out. This is even a hypothesis clearly considered by the Bild podcast “Bayern Insider”. Remember that the BvB came very close to signing the attacking midfielder last summer. The Frenchman had agreed to crash Paris Saint-Germain, before being himself abandoned by the Champions League finalist. Not sure that Rayan Cherki digested this episode.

And this is not the only potential obstacle for Borussia Dortmund, announced in competition with Bayern Munich for the Bleuet. Finally, we will have to deal with the financial demands of Olympique Lyonnais. There was recent talk of a price of around 30 million euros. In any case, the playmaker will not be sold off by John Textor. “ I have clubs in Türkiye contacting me with insulting offers for my best players because they think we are desperate. They were told to get out », told the shareholder to RMC last Monday just to clarify things.
