OL sets an ultra attractive price for Cherki, two big names arrive

Will Rayan Cherki leave Olympique Lyonnais this winter? Following a stormy passage before the National Directorate of Management Control (DNCG), the Gones received major sanctions from the financial policeman of French football: a ban on recruiting in the next transfer window, a control of the payroll, but also and above all a demotion as a precautionary measure. Leaders must now balance the books and reduce the colossal debt by 500 million euros. And this will inevitably involve the sale of several executive players.

Cherki for 30 million?

Among them, we find in particular Rayan Cherki, author of a solid start to the season in the Rhône. And if John Textor affirms that he will not let go of his nugget, who is under contract until 2026, Foot Market understands that management still opened the door, but not at any cost. The Lyon board has set its bar: 30 million euros to start negotiations. Last week, we learned via Sky Sports that Liverpool kept a watchful eye on the evolution of its situation and now, it is the turn of Bayer Leverkusen of Xabi Alonso, as asserted Foot Marketto enter the dance. The 21-year-old phenomenon should have no shortage of candidates, it remains to be seen whether OL will be convinced by the offers.
