Rayan Cherki could have left Olympique Lyonnais this winter when Borussia Dortmund formulated a sound and stumbling offer of 22.5 million euros. Pushed by Eagle's director of football, Michael Gerlinger, the proposal was therefore not successful and the international hopes remained to end the season with the Gones. Five months later, the departure of Rayan Cherki is almost acted and a very large club is now interested in him.
If he remains his contract until June 2026 with OL, Cherki himself announced a few days ago that his Rhone adventure was now over. A stranger remains: where will the creative of twenty-one year old play? Several stables are already on the ranks. On the side of the Premier League in particular, with Fulham or Liverpool and Chelsea. And now according to The Telegraphit is Manchester City's turn to eye on the side of the player just called among the A by Didier Deschamps.
The English media explained that Pep Guardiola was looking for technical and creative profiles to compensate for the start of Kevin de Brune and that more and more likely of Jack Grenish. On the other hand, the Spanish coach and his staff would have some questions about the level of French and especially on his ability to repeat high -flying services. But Rayan Cherki would have for him the “reasonable” amount of his potential transfer. Olympique Lyonnais would be ready to let it go in the event of an offer revolving around thirty million euros.
Rayan Cherki attempted by Dortmund?
It is in any case a candidate of choice who presents himself for a Rayan Cherki who seems more than ever about to cross a level in his young career. Pep Guardiola said last weekend that he was ready from Manchester City if his group was not drastically reduced. In the meantime, he wants new blood and the option embodied by French is seriously studied.
It remains to be seen what the main interested party will want to do with his future. Several media are for example the echo of Cherki's desire to join Borussia Dortmund, a few months after the failure of the negotiations between the German club and Lyon. The suspense remains whole.
