CaughtOffside: Milan among clubs eyeing Lyon star in potential ‘bargain’ €30m deal

Rayan Cherki is expected to leave Lyon during the summer transfer window and AC Milan have been named among his potential suitors.

According to a report from CaughtOffside, a number of top European clubs are exploring the idea of trying to sign Cherki, the highly-rated playmaker at Olympique Lyonnais. Above all, Manchester United and Tottenham are ‘leading the race’ to land him.

However, Bayern Munich are keen on him also, but Juventus, Bayer Leverkusen, Arsenal, Newcastle United and Aston Villa are ‘all keeping a close eye’ on the 21-year-old after another impressive season from a personal standpoint.

Cherki – who is now coached by the former Milan head coach Paulo Fonseca – has racked up 12 goals this season and has added 19 assists. Lyon have set an asking price of €30-35m as a result, but plenty of the aforementioned teams ‘consider it a bargain given his exceptional talent and quality’.

The forward himself is ‘keen on a new challenge’ and would prefer a move to the Premier League, which he views to be a switch to playing at the highest level. Crystal Palace are another interested suitor as they might have to replace Eberechi Eze ahead of 2025-26.

Milan have recently been linked with Riccardo Orsolini by various sources which shows that they are in the market for a new right winger, which has been Cherki’s main position this season. The sale of Samuel Chukwueze could raise much-needed funds for a signing.

    1. For me Orsolini 🐻 is the best option for AC Million. Milan will not spend over 20 Million with Pulisic going strong. Keith 🇲🇹

      1. Go back and watch the highlights of that Lyon v Utd Classic from two weeks ago then tell me if you wouldn’t want to sign him whatever your bigoted opinion is of his skin color!

  1. Sell leao….bring chiesa…sell theo….bring tsimikas…sell RLC…and try camavinga….we need No10….or someone who can play that…berardi can cover false nine…or wing…or 10…olmo…xiavi simons…are options…..on forward line we need ball keeper like hojlund…or sesko….gimenez from fey….is average player….richarlison can revive all ….

    1. Replace Leao with Chiesa???, Theo with Tzimikas???, Gimenez with Hojlund?????
      What on earth are you smoking, and can I have some please?
      Richarlison couldn’t “revive” the worst Spurs team ever let alone Milan.

    2. What are you talking?

      Let leao and Theo go? And bring chesia? And can be play left

      And More camavinga? What is his cost?

  2. Sell leao next season please bring in another winger that can use both leg, return Abraham and bring in salaamakaer.
