Rayan Cherki was very close to becoming a PSG player. He will finally play in the Bundesliga.
Paris Saint-Germain seemed on the verge of registering its second recruit of this summer transfer window, after the Russian goalkeeper
Matvey Safonov. Indeed, the leaders of the capital club had sent an offer of fifteen million euros (including three million in bonuses) to their counterparts at Olympique Lyonnais in order to poach
Rayan Cherki.
According to The teamthis had been accepted and the attacking midfielder had given his agreement hoping to sign before June 30. Except that the negotiations would have blocked on the subject of an interest of the player on his transfer. A muddle from which Borussia Dortmund would have taken advantage.
Cherki, PSG doubled by BVB
The German club would have taken advantage of this to compete with PSG on a file that seemed practically closed. The sports daily specifies that the salary offered by BVB would be lower than the Parisian proposal. However, the Lyon native would have more facilities to be transferred in the future rather than if he had chosen the Red and Blue.
PSG’s leaders reportedly did not really appreciate this about-face, which they attribute to the latter’s entourage. As a reminder, the French international hopeful, who will soon be playing in the Paris Olympic Games, is represented by Fayza Lamari, Kylian Mbappé’s mother.
