Rayan Cherki could leave Lyon for €22.5 million this summer

According to a report from Sky Sports and confirmed by RMC Sport journalist Fabrice Hawkins, Rayan Cherki (21) could leave Olympique Lyonnais this summer for around €22.5 million.

Sky Sports alleges that there is a secret verbal agreement between Lyon and their academy product that was made during the contract extension in September allowing for him to leave for around €22 million. They also add that Bundesliga clubs are paying attention to the attacking midfielder.

Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, and Bayer Leverkusen are all considering the player. However, it is thought that none of them have yet made a move to secure his signature.

Cherki has attracted the interest of multiple teams across Europe and has long been linked with an exit from his formative club. He was reported to be a target for Liverpool, while Napoli have also been rumoured to be interested in him since Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (23) was sold to Paris Saint-Germain.
