Could this finally be Rayan Cherki’s season? At only 21 years old, the person concerned is already playing his sixth professional season in the ranks of OL, finally having a real influence on the field. Under the leadership of Pierre Sage, the Gone manages to express itself as expected, decisive in more than one way in Ligue 1 as in the Europa League.

Among the Hopes, the trend is the same. Luxury joker under the orders of Thierry Henry during the Olympic interlude, the person concerned has gained confidence in recent months, appearing to his advantage against Germany and Italy in particular. An activity that obviously does not go unnoticed. Especially since the player’s future is far from being fixed, whether at club or national team.

Italy ready to play a bad trick on the Blues

Although he has been with the Blues since the U16s, Rayan Cherki – who could soon be pushed out to Lyon given the financial difficulties of John Textor’s group – is not guaranteed to one day play among the A tricolors. The Franco-Algerian will-o-the-wisp is naturally followed closely by the Fennecs, who have been courting him for many years. But Algeria is not alone on the issue.

We learn in the Italian press that the Azzurri are also working to divert the striker from the Blues. On the pretext of a grandfather from Puglia. The Italian Football Federation would have taken advantage of the friendly match against the French Espoirs this Tuesday evening to put forward its arguments with the representatives of Rayan Cherki. A real threat for the selection currently led by Didier Deschamps.
