Lyon have made Rayan Cherki available in a cut-price deal and AC Milan are one of the clubs that have registered an interest, a report claims.
After the sacking of Fabio Grosso and the 3-0 defeat in Marseille, Lyon’s crisis continues. They are bottom of the table with just seven points, putting them six points from safety and with only one victory in the season.
Calciomercato.com report that their American owner John Textor will be forced to put the prized pieces of the squad on the market, among which the most coveted is unquestionably Rayan Cherki who was the subject of interest from Chelsea and West Ham last season.
During the last January transfer window Paris Saint-Germain made a timid approach, while Lyon have made the decision to cash in because there is seemingly no chance of a renewal (current deal expiring in June 2025) and the forward wishes to leave.
In Ligue 1 so far Cherki has had a disappointing season like that of his team, with zero goals and only one assist in 859 minutes. Overwhelmed by internal problems, he was even accused of being the ‘mole’ in the dressing room leaking information.
Cherki is valued at €20m, with an annual salary of €3.5m net per season. The report Juventus and Milan, with the former having often followed it and the latter aiming for this type of investment.
Yes let’s sign him immediately is important
Yeah he’s good on FIFA. In real life he’s a young player with tremendous ego, he isn’t improving for years despite being labelled as the next great star, he’s not helping the team on and off the field, he’s making fuss in the locker room, shows his frustration loud and clear every time a teammate doesn’t serve him and lacks poise and grinta. No thanks.
Wdym? Another CDK-eaque style player with the same 1 assist and same position again?
Sign young player that become trouble maker in dressing room ? He is not messi , he is just another CDK . Not worth even 20m euro price tag. Just an overhype player .
Sign him asap and give them krunic everyone is happy
Yes, because Krunic has absolutely zero say in where he ends up. Kids say the damnedest things.
i’ll give you deez nutz
Speak better English then you can talk to me. Cherki voted one of the best talents in this generation. It can be good to try and sign the best talents that we can find also I’m pretty sure CDK falling down is entirely pioli’s fault because he’s tactics are too predictable and he’s putting players in the wrong position and expect to be brilliant
You’re all about the hype, friend. Who voted Cherki one of the best talents in this generation? I have many friends who are OL fans, I can tell you that nobody likes this guy and they eagerly wait for his leaving. He’s a troublemaker and he’s not improving. He was said to be one of the best talent for three or four years now.
He is just another overhyped egoistical player, we don’t need that mentality here.
end of the day, he is only 20. With the right manager (not Pioli) he might live up to his talent.
that ihattaren guy that juve signed 2 years back was also labelled as one of the biggest talents. He never played for juve and got released and was considering retirement at 21
Antoher Gourcuff for Milan?
even Adli done better than him in same pos, we all know what pioli turn him to be
He is very good player, he has done very well for French team U21/U19
