German Bundesliga giants, Borussia Dortmund are preparing to raid Olympique Lyon to secure the signing of French-Algerian midfielder Rayan Cherki.
The Black and Yellow outfit has long been linked with a move to sign the talented playmaker.
Last summer, Dortmund were linked with a move to sign Rayan Cherki, but no official contact was made.
However, in the winter transfer window, the Germans contacted Olympique Lyon over a potential move to sign the midfielder.
At the time, Lyon were struggling and decided not to listen to the offer from Dortmund because they needed the player to stay and help get the team out of its difficulty.
According to information gathered from sources, Borussia Dortmund have not moved on and still want to sign Rayan Cherki.
The club is now reportedly preparing a bid to be presented to Olympique Lyon in the summer transfer window in hopes of finally securing the services of the highly-rated Algerian youngster.
If the club is successful, the 21-year-old midfielder will become a key player for the Bundesliga outfit.
This season, Cherki is one of the most exciting young midfielders in Europe. He has scored eight goals for Lyon and provided 18 assists after making 35 appearances in all competitions.
