With a view to the transfer market, it was not Rayan Cherki’s year, all the more. The Olympique Lyon’s own plant played the best season of his career with twelve goals and 20 templates in 44 missions. For the Nations League Finals, the 21-year-old was first appointed to the French national team. Now it should also work with the next career step after the last two transfer phases have been sobering.
In an interview with “L’équipe“.” Nobody will decide for me how, why and where. I don’t want to suffer. (…) I hope that in ten or fifteen years I can say that I am proud of myself and my decisions. ” An association doesn’t have to do much to convince it. “You have to talk to me about football. About football and even more football. Very easy.”
Cherki is spoiled for choice, and he has long been able to reach on the top shelf. Top clubs such as Liverpool or Manchester City are among those interested. With the Skyblues there are loudly “Sky“Advanced conversations that an oral agreement is close.” I am ready for every system. I work physically and mentally every day to be ready. Above all, I try to choose the best option for myself to develop as a person and footballer, “said Cherki about the rumors.

You would also have to agree with Lyon. Cherki had extended his contract with OL by a year until 2026 last September after Les Gones had sorted him out at the start of the season because they did not want to lose it at zero tariff. 35 million to 40 million euros are available as a transfer.
BVB also in the game: Cherki criticizes transfer-hickhack
“It shows that football can be ungrateful, because I gave the club everything. Despite the interest, I signed my first professional contract there, extended several times and always gave my word not to be free. And in return, some people tried to harm me,” explained Cherki. “But I never gave up. I knew where I wanted to go. I was violently criticized by some, my environment was criticized. But I am the one who makes the decisions.”
Last summer, Cherki is said to have been faced with Paris Saint-Germain before Borussia Dortmund grown in between. The potential transfer of Cherkis is said to have then led to internal unrest at BVB. Another attempt was started in winter, which Lyon blocked despite the player’s change request. A third attempt should remain without success due to the well -known competition.
“I could have made other decisions, could go to Paris Saint-Germain directly and very early in the transfer window without even talking to Dortmund. But that is part of my story, my stages. It was also my first big transfer phase, where I learned a lot and thought a lot,” Cherki looked back. “I’m ready today.” With his time in Lyon, in which he collected 74 scorers in 185 games, he was still satisfied.
“I did what I wanted to do with OL to be a real Lyoner and to give everything for my club. I didn’t leave the ship while sinking. I left my teeth together. I cried, I had afraid. But a good man has to be part of his DNA. Even if it is hard, even if you are afraid, you have to go to your club,” Cherki together.
