Finally remaining at Olympique Lyonnais after being announced as leaving during the summer transfer window, Rayan Cherki returned to a very good level. There are still many teams interested in his profile, particularly in Spain.
Rayan Cherki ultimately stayed at Olympique Lyonnais. The Rhone club, which wanted to part ways with its attacking midfielder one year from the end of his contract, finally reintegrated the player into its group and extended it until 2026. Surely revengeful, Cherki shows the full extent of his talent since his return to Pierre Sage's starting lineup. Coveted by Paris Saint-Germain, Dortmund, Leipzig and even Fulham this summer, the 21-year-old player ultimately did not find a buyer, but the fact of having extended allows OL to hope for a possible future sale to a more expensive price. Moreover, according to information from journalist Ekrem Konur, many European clubs remain on the lookout for his situation, notably Betis Sevilla.
Betis Sevilla ready to take action for Cherki
The Andalusian club aimed to bring back Dani Ceballos (28 years old), the Real Madrid midfielder trained at Betis, but faced with the difficulty of the operation, the latter is ready to look into the case of Rayan Cherki. Moreover, Real Madrid had been following the Frenchman's profile in recent months but the Merengue felt that he was not a priority in the weeks to come. Thus, Betis stands ready to take action soon to enlist the young talent from the Lyon training center. We will have to be convincing, because despite offers of 15 million euros last summer and more than significant interest from Fulham in particular, Cherki finally decided to stay in the Rhône. In the event of a transfer, Cherki can follow in the footsteps of one of his predecessors who passed through Lyon and who had a good international career, namely a certain Nabil Fekir who left his mark on the residents of the Benito-Villamarin Stadium between 2019 and 2024.
