The transfer window at OL is likely to be hectic this summer. Les Gones are preparing for a lot of departures in the coming weeks.
In Lyon, fans hope to see their club back in the spotlight next season. The last exercises have been very disappointing and OL are no longer invited to the title race or to that of Europe. As a result, it is difficult to be able to attract players of a high caliber and to see clearly the sporting strategy put in place in Lyon. It will be interesting to see how the Gones will manage after Aulas, while John Textor has promised good investments in the coming weeks. However, the economic reality will certainly catch up with OL. The Rhone club will have to resolve to sell important players from its workforce. Castello Lukeba could well spin to Leipzig when Rayan Cherki is most courted.

During the last summer transfer window, PSG had shown a strong interest in the young OL player. Real Madrid is also on the prowl, as are some Premier League clubs. This is particularly the case for Chelsea. According The Guardian, the Blues are considering taking action to recruit Rayan Cherki. And the arrival of the French international Espoirs could even take place within the framework of a potential arrival of Christian Pulisic at OL. The Rhone club would have made an offer of 25 million to the Blues in recent hours. But the problem lies in the desire of the American to favor an arrival at AC Milan rather than at Olympique Lyonnais. In any case, everything suggests that the rumors around an upcoming departure of Rayan Cherki are only at their beginning. The Lyon player will enjoy a few days of vacation after a disappointing Euro Espoirs for Les Bleuets. Then, Cherki will have time to take stock of his future.
