Rayan Cherki shuns Liverpool and PSG interest to fight for Lyon survival

Rayan Cherki 750x536 1

Rayan Cherki, one of France’s brightest young talents, is set to remain at Olympique Lyonnais despite strong interest from Liverpool this January.

The 21-year-old playmaker has been in scintillating form, but with Lyon battling relegation and needing to balance their books, his future remains a hot topic.

Reports suggest Lyon value Cherki at €30-35 million, a figure Liverpool have closely monitored as they aim to bolster their midfield options. Despite renewed efforts from the Premier League giants, Cherki’s preference is to stay at his formative club until at least the end of the season.

Speaking to Canal Plus last week, the French youth international remained cryptic about his long-term plans, but L’Équipe confirms he is committed to helping Lyon avoid an unprecedented drop to Ligue 2.

Paris Saint-Germain, once front-runners for Cherki’s signature, have distanced themselves following last summer’s transfer saga. A move to Borussia Dortmund fell through after OL rejected all offers, leaving Cherki’s next chapter open. For now, Lyon fans can breathe easy, knowing their star will fight to keep the club afloat—at least until the summer transfer window.
