After a complicated first part of the season, like his team, Rayan Cherki has shown good things for several matches. Good news for Olympique Lyonnais who are preparing to experience an exciting end to the season with a Coupe de France final on the program and the now announced objective of qualifying for a European Cup via the championship.

At the same time, Rayan Cherki must also manage his future. It must be said that the international Espoirs sees its lease with the Rhone club come to an end on June 30, 2025. A situation which could push the Lyon leaders to separate from their 20-year-old attacking midfielder, unless the latter extends his contract in the coming weeks.
