Lyon’s dazzling winger Rayan Cherki could be on the move this summer, with Liverpool eyeing the 21-year-old as a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah if the star departs.
The Sun reports that the Reds are among a host of top European clubs keeping tabs on the breakout talent from the French side.
Arne Slot’s Liverpool will have to fend off stiff competition, though. Borussia Dortmund, who saw a £19 million bid rejected in January, remain in the hunt, while Bayern Munich are also lurking. Closer to home, Premier League rivals Chelsea and Arsenal have joined the chase for the rising star, whose value has soared after a stellar season.
Cherki has been electric for Lyon, racking up eight goals and 18 assists in 34 appearances across all competitions.
Eligible to represent France or Algeria thanks to his parents’ heritage he’s become one of the most coveted talents in Europe. As the summer window looms, Lyon may struggle to hold onto their homegrown gem with so many heavyweights circling.
