Her statement agitated the canvas … but she was misleading. Going on stage during the UNFP trophies on Sunday evening, Rayan Cherki sowed the trouble. Designated in the typical team of the season, he slipped a message with a nod: “I would feel very well in a locker room like that.” A wardrobe where several PSG players were enthroned. Immediately, the rumors of a transfer to Paris resumed more beautifully. But the reality is quite different.
Two English pole giants for Cherki
According to several concordant sources, Liverpool and Manchester City are the two clubs closest to convince Cherki. Contacts have taken place in recent days, confirmed by The Parisian. The two first league giants see in the Lyon leader a technical profile capable of winning at the highest level. City is preparing after-Bernardo Silva, while Liverpool begins a new post-Klopp cycle. And Cherki's statistics-12 goals and 19 assists this season-have not gone unnoticed across the Channel.
Paris cooled, England ignites
PSG, a very hot time on the file, was cooled by certain attitudes of the player in the past. The club no longer seems ready to bet big on it. This caution opens a boulevard to English clubs. Especially since Cherki, who had almost signed in Dortmund last summer, seems more open than ever to a departure. The Premier League has been dreaming for a long time.
Liverpool and City grill priority at PSG for Cherki
An inevitable departure, an upcoming battle
After a full season, and performances welcomed, Cherki should not continue at OL. The question is no longer “if it leaves”, but “where”. Tottenham remains in ambush, but City and Liverpool hold the rope. At 21, the Lyonnais crack is about to take the jump. And it is on the other side of the Channel that its future should be written.
PSG can already make a reason. Rayan Cherki chose his camp. And it is no longer that of the French championship.
