Close to signing for PSG last summer, Rayan Cherki gradually moved away from the capital thanks to increasingly convincing performances with Lyon. At least until next summer.
For several weeks, Rayan Cherki has continued to shine… and will inevitably arouse more and more desire. Not a starter at the start of the season (notably because of his participation in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games with the French team led by Thierry Henry), the attacking midfielder still forced Pierre Sage to review his plans a little due to his performance. Indeed, in great form, the 21-year-old now has five goals and six assists in 16 games this season (all competitions combined). However, the latter, who extended his contract until 2026 last September, seemed closer than ever to leaving his training club last summer. Coveted by Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund, Cherki ultimately stayed with Les Gones, who should not regret this situation from now on. It remains to be seen whether the club's financial concerns could change the situation in January.
A departure rather scheduled for next summer?
In any case, according to L'Équipe, the trend is not for number 18 to leave during the next winter transfer windowdespite the announced arrival of the Argentinian Thiago Almada (from Botafogo). If PSG wanted it a few months ago, Cherki has rather moved away from the capital club recently at the same time as he has started to show his best level. However, Parisian leaders should not miss the opportunity to observe it more closely this Sunday, during the clash of the 15th day of Ligue 1 between the reigning French champions and Lyon (at the Parc des Princes). Moreover, a departure of the one that some would like to see among the Blues should rather take place next summer (and if possible before June 30, 2025, just to satisfy the DNCG). On Thursday, the main person concerned spoke about this. “ For now, there are still two games left. We'll see at the end of the season if I'm still here or not », declared Cherki, at the microphone of Canal+.
