Very paradoxical evening for Rayan Cherki. Sitting on the replacement bench at the kick-off of the League of Nations semi-final between France and Spain, the player of Olympique Lyonnais attended the humiliation inflicted by the Roja on his partners. Having entered the game at 4-1, the Lyonnais saw Lamine Yamal plant the fifth Spanish goal. The Blues failed to reverse the trend, but Cherki's entry into the game had the merit of giving spice to the meeting.
After having reduced the score of a masterful volley, Cherki simply signed a goal and two assists in 25 minutes. For its first in blue, the Gone struck very hard. Enough to make an impression. And convince Manchester City to speed up. As a reminder, we had revealed to you that the Skyblues had recently intensified the contacts with the entourage of the player and that they were more than ever favorite in this file. However, the case is still far from settled.
City aligned himself on the Cherki clause
The team We learn this evening that Manchester City made a first offer, probably oral, at OL this Thursday. And the amount proposed by the English has not enthusiastic the Gones since the English proposed the € 22.5 million corresponding to the amount of the agreement agreed between Cherki and OL when the player agreed to extend his lease. However, the Rhodanians do not intend to give in Cherki at this price. Borussia Dortmund was rejected last January after having offered the same amount of money.
Clearly, the Gones explain behind the scenes that this clause was only valid once. It is on this point that a disagreement exists between the Rhone club and the Cherki clan. Only concern: OL suggests that this € 22.5 million clause has already been activated (by the BVB). However in the event of OL refusals, the Gones are required to pay a penalty of € 3 million to their player. What they still did not do, explaining that the Germans had not fulfilled all the conditions necessary for the activation of the clause. Will Manchester City be more successful or will it come back with an off-revised offer? For his part, Rayan Cherki did not wish to say too much about his future after the match. “”Yes it takes shape, you know my answer, there is one match, all you have to do is wait, we have to win this match and after that we'll see.»»
