Despite his extension at the start of the season, Rayan Cherki remains announced as leaving. The attacking midfielder from Olympique Lyonnais would have agreed a price with his managers. An affordable amount that Naples could take advantage of to compensate for the departure of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to Paris Saint-Germain.
Threatened with a possible demotion to Ligue 2, Olympique Lyonnais seemed almost condemned to sell at least one of its biggest market values. But the days pass and the Rhone club shows that it is not totally desperate. Owner John Textor doesn't give the impression of wanting to transfer his best players as quickly as possible. His serenity does not, however, prevent certain rumors from circulating. And particularly regarding the future of Rayan Cherki.
A Cherki-OL agreement
According to Sky Sports in Germany, the 21-year-old attacking midfielder and his managers have agreed on the price of his possible transfer. We are talking about an amount of 22 million euros for the Gone under contract until 2026. The sum may seem relatively low for a player who is very visible during the first part of the season. Many clubs might be tempted to verify this information with Olympique Lyonnais. As the media indicates Real Madrid Exclusivethe Merengue should not move on this issue.
-The Madrid offensive sector has enough solutions and their interest dates mainly from the time when coach Zinédine Zidane was still in office. A priori, Rayan Cherki has a better chance of attracting the attention of Naples. The journalist of Relief Matteo Moretto affirms that the international Espoirs tricolor was offered to the Partenopei. Napoli's response is currently unknown. But one thing is certain, it is that the Italian team will have to compensate for the departure of winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to Paris Saint-Germain. It remains to be seen whether Rayan Cherki has the shoulders to fill such a void within a major European team.
