Paris Saint-Germain wishes to recruit Rayan Cherki, the attacking midfielder from Olympique Lyonnais (OL), learned from the sports department of Radio France, confirming information from the Team. The player, followed for a long time by Luis Campos, the football advisor of PSG, is at the end of his contract in a year.

OL have submitted an extension proposal to their playmaker, but the latter seems interested in the Parisian project. He has already been able to speak with Luis Enrique, the coach of the capital club.

A first offer of around 15 million euros was sent to the Rhone leaders to buy out the last year of Rayan Cherki’s contract. PSG sees in Rayan Cherki an opportunity to help them progress, as was the case with Bradley Barcola, also recruited last season from OL.

Rayan Cherki must participate in the Paris Olympic Games with the team led by Thierry Henry. Not retained at first, he was recalled by the coach following the refusal by certain clubs to release their players.
