Under fire from critics currently, while Olympique Lyonnais is still bottom of Ligue 1, Rayan Cherki, 20, benefits from the salary of a star player of Les Gones. Far too much for a player who has not yet established himself as a leader of his team.
At 20 years old, Rayan Cherki still has time to progress to become a very high level player. We are still far from the goal. A technical genius, the attacking midfielder trained at Olympique Lyonnais lacks determination and above all intelligence of the game (“ it’s not even half of Ben Arfa’s brain », railed Daniel Riolo on RMC). The international hopeful, although excellent with the Bleuets, has still not scored this season in 14 Ligue 1 matches…
Still disappointing, Cherki is nevertheless paid like a real locker room executive at Les Gones. When signing his new contract in August 2022, he then benefited from a gross monthly salary of 210,000 euros, or 2.52 million euros per year. But since last summer, his emoluments have exploded: 300,000 euros per month, or 3.6 million euros per year, as indicated The Team last March. Far too much for a young crack who has not confirmed.
Rayan Cherki’s significant salary is further proof of the cataclysmic management of OL management, under Jean-Michel Aulas then John Textor. He is in the top 5 highest salaries at the club. Alexandre Lacazette and Corentin Tolisso agreed to return to the capital of Gaul, benefiting from a gross monthly salary of 450,000 to 400,000 euros. Anthony Lopes is at 300,000 like Cherki. He has been the starting goalkeeper for eleven years…
