Sunday evening, at the end of the 5e championship day, OL hosts OM in a high-stakes match. For this meeting, Pierre Sage wanted to surround himself with his best players. And that is why he decided to retain a player who was banned from the first team. The player in question is Rayan Cherki.
Cherki has finished extending
Although he has not yet played a single minute this season, the international hopeful is indeed in the Rhone squad called upon to challenge rivals Marseille. This is what RMC Sport reported this Saturday.
If Cherki was removed from OL, it was not because of a decision by the coach. It was the management that had decreed the eviction, as long as the player had not resolved his personal situation. In order not to lose him without the slightest compensation next summer, they asked him to extend his contract. The player refused for a long time to comply. But, and since the transfer window is over and he is anxious to play, Cherki has decided to re-enlist.
Cherki’s extension was made official on Saturday evening. He signed a new two-year contract. As a reminder, his debut with the OL first team dates back to the 2019/2020 season. He has since played 131 matches with the Gones and scored 7 goals.
