It’s no secret that Rayan Cherki is on his way out and his future no longer seems to be written on the OL side. The young player trained at the club had also not failed to say goodbye to the supporters in half-hearted terms. And the contract extension proposal made by John Textor and the Lyon management (contract until 2028, but with a salary reduction) has not changed anything for the player who is therefore getting closer than ever to a departure.
In this sense, we revealed to you a few days ago that PSG’s interest was concrete in this case and since the Parisian club had even made an offer of 15 million euros including bonuses which had been accepted by OL. But the capital club was not the only one wanting to recover Rayan Cherki. On the Bundesliga side, it was Borussia Dortmund who had set their sights on the 20-year-old player. The German club has been following the Lyon native for two years and sees itself succeeding in fully developing his talent.
Borussia Dortmund has a head start
And in recent hours, the situation has evolved positively for the German club. According to our information, Borussia Dortmund has now taken a good head start on PSG regarding the recruitment of Rayan Cherki. The unfortunate finalist of the last Champions League is even the big favorite to welcome him this summer. For its part, PSG continues to insist in trying to convince him to stay in Ligue 1 under the Parisian colors.
But the trend is clearly towards a departure to Germany. The opportunity for the player to finally launch his career? Possible in a championship known for developing young French talents. Ousmane Dembélé, Kolo Muani, Moussa Diaby and Kingsley Coman had all managed to shine in Germany. This transfer could allow Rayan Cherki to finally exploit all his talent, he who finished the Lyon season with 3 goals and 9 assists in 39 matches.
