This setback allowed the Borussia Dortmund to return to the race with a different career plan: to help the player grow and not block a transfer in the future like the trajectory ofErling Haaland, Jude Bellingham, Ousmane Dembélé or Jadon Sancho in the past. Rayan Cherki entered into negotiations with the BVB and the German club is ready to conclude this transfer on the same basis as the PSG (15M€), but with a salary lower than the Parisian proposal. “It is an understatement to say that the Parisian club did not appreciate the about-face, which it attributes to the player’s entourage, and which deprives it of the transfer of a budding talent at an unexpected price.”reports THE.
