Disappointing with OL this season, Rayan Cherki could look elsewhere this winter.

The Lyon decision-makers ended up losing patience. Aware of having raw talent in Rayan Cherki, OL management has long considered their 20-year-old striker untransferable. Yes, but there you have it, the player disappoints meeting after meeting in the Rhone colors, as was again the case this Wednesday evening in Marseille (3-0 defeat of Lyon), to such an extent that a departure would be considered this winter.

Its price is known

According to information released this Thursday by Foot Mercato, Lyon leaders would have opened the door to the departure of Rayan Cherki during this winter transfer window, which will open on January 1. And its price would even already be fixed: Les Gones would wait for no less than 20 million euros to part with their international hopefuls, under contract until June 2025.

For the moment, no suitor has officially declared themselves. But last summer, Chelsea and West Ham came to the inquiry. Just like Paris Saint-Germain last winter.
