Rayan Cherki could be set for a dramatic deadline-day move, with Borussia Dortmund reportedly making a last-minute attempt to sign the Olympique Lyonnais midfielder before the winter transfer window closes.
According to multiple French media outlets, Cherki’s time at Groupama Stadium may be coming to an end, as the German giants are said to be preparing a formal offer to secure his services.
Sky Sport has also reported that Dortmund’s management is actively working on a deal for the 20-year-old attacking midfielder, hoping to finalize an agreement before Friday’s transfer deadline.
Lyon, currently facing financial difficulties, are believed to be open to selling Cherki if an offer in the region of €22 million is made.
The club’s economic struggles have raised concerns about potential relegation from Ligue 1, increasing the likelihood of player sales to stabilize finances.
The Franco-Algerian midfielder has long been considered one of Lyon’s brightest talents, but his future has been the subject of speculation for months.
While Dortmund’s interest appears serious, it remains to be seen whether the two clubs can reach an agreement in the final hours of the transfer window.
With time ticking away, Lyon and Cherki now face a pivotal moment that could see him swap Ligue 1 for the Bundesliga.
