Having extended this summer, Rayan Cherki remains one of OL's main assets. With the need to sell, the offensive player could well represent good value this winter.
This Friday, John Weaver will promise a significant influx of money to the DNCG. Most certainly between 100 and 200 million euros via several levers. There is the expected sale of shares of Crystal Palace, more it remains unknown as to the date of completion. The most likely remains the sale of assets and therefore players in the coming weeks with the winter transfer window. This influx of money could come with the sale of players from Botafogo or Molenbeek, but you are never really better served than by yourself.
at theOLMatthieu Louis-Jean will have a big mission during the winter for his first as technical director of the club: trying to get rid of undesirables in order to limit the departures of important players. However, bringing in cash with elements that don't work seems quite complicated. Logically, the futures of those who are popular like Malick Breathe or Rayan Cherki will find themselves scrutinized until January 31, 2025…
Valued at 25 million euros now
In its desire to return to the Champions League, OL clearly have no interest in parting ways with their best elements. But the economic reality is quite different, unfortunately… The first good part of the Lyonnais season will perhaps push certain big names to become active on the issue and Cherki could well be one of the players “sacrificed” to get into the lead. Unlike this summer, the offensive player now has a contract which extends until 2027 and therefore a greater valuation.
Its good performances since September would have pushed Liverpool to take information from The Team. Having chosen Moussa Sissoko as a representative from now on, Rayan Cherki would today have a valuation of 25 million euros. But once again, the courtiers will have to appear in front of the gate. And let them ignore Lyon's financial situation to put the real price. Because here again, OL finds itself a little caught in its own game…
