It was a foregone conclusion. Thanks to his convincing first part of the season, Rayan Cherki is attracting the attention of many people in Europe. But one club has taken the lead, and it is not PSG.
The information on the desire of Olympique Lyonnais to listen to all offers for its players, including for its most important elements, made noise in the Rhone microcosm. But some European clubs have had Rayan Cherki in their sights for a long time. The playmaker was called upon last summer, but his entourage, the Mbappé clan at the time, had obviously not felt the blows well and the player ultimately stayed in Lyon, before extending his contract. After a thunderous return and maturity associated with returned efficiency, the Franco-Algerian is making people salivate. John Textor is asking for double the price demanded this summer, namely at least 30 million euros. Nothing to scare a club that really wants to bring him: Liverpool.
Liverpool are ahead for Cherki
According to the English press, the Reds are the most pressing and began contacts in November. The track continues to be worked on by the Mersey team, who are convinced they are on the right track. This despite the interest of several European groups. PSG has often been mentioned but the Parisian leaders were cooled by last summer's episode, and are no longer as hot. On the other hand, the German press mentions several new avenues for Cherki. Borussia Dortmund would still be in the running, like last summer, but this would also be the case for Bayer Leverkusen and RB Leipzig, who are under the spell of the Lyon dribbler, and convinced that the Bundesliga could suit him perfectly. Elements that can be understood by the player, even if the latter especially sees his chances of leaving OL multiply with these numerous interests.
