Olympique Lyonnais is under attack from all sides at the start of the transfer window! If OL recently rebuffed the advances of RB Leipzig, eager to recruit Castello Lukeba, the Rhone club has been facing foreign attacks for several days for Rayan Cherki. Considered a great hope of French football and coming out of a decent season with Les Gones (34 games, 4 goals and 6 assists in Ligue 1), the 19-year-old midfielder is one of Chelsea’s priority targets. Indeed, the resident of the Premier League wishes to fill the departure of Christian Pulisic in the direction of AC Milan and has logically started talks with the Lyon formation. The London club would be ready to put 40 million on the table to enlist him. But John Textor sees things from a different angle.
The Guardian informs that the new boss of OL is not inclined to let go of a key element of Laurent Blanc’s workforce. If a sale of the player trained in Lyon would be a good omen in order to solve the financial problems of the club and put an end to the threat of the DNCG, which has decided to supervise its payroll and its future transfers, the man of American business wants to keep its chances of hanging on to European competition next season by acquiring a solid workforce.
