At the weekend it looked as if Borussia Dortmund could succeed with the commitment of Rayan Cherki a real transfer coup. But on Monday the leaf turned completely: John Textor, his sign Club boss of Cherki’s employer Olympique Lyon, pushed a stop to the change-and violated the BVB managers.
BVB head coach Niko Kovac gave the green light, Rayan Cherki also wanted: Despite the supposedly good sign, a change of the French offensive player from Olympique Lyon burst on the home straight on Monday. The American club boss John Textor made it clear that the 21-year-old will not leave the club in winter.
“We rejected Borussia Dortmund’s offer and do not have the intention of negotiating with you or another club,” said the entrepreneur clearly and shot violently against the people in charge of the Westphalia: “The offer from Dortmund was communicated disrespectful the market value and was badly chosen in time. “
BVB transfer bursts despite the oral Cherki agreement
The result: “Rayan Cherki will remain an important part of our team by the end of the 2024/25 season,” said Textor unmistakably. At BVB, the public appearance of the American is said to have triggered “irritation”. At the Westfalenstadion you should no longer be interested in a Cherki obligation.
Nevertheless, the mud battle for the services of the Olympic participant caused a sensation: after all, several media had unanimously reported that Cherki can leave the traditional French club in winter if an offer was received of 22.5 million euros. The club made this promise orally.
Borussia Dortmund is said to have been presented at the Olympique offer. There, however, the Gentleman Agreement did not stick to the Gentleman, it says at “Sky”. Cherki would have loved to switch to the Bundesliga. Already in summer he was a hot candidate with the black and yellow.
A third attempt could follow after the season.
