PSG and Liverpool Compete for Rayan Cherki as Transfer Interest Grows

PSG remains keen on Rayan Cherki, who has made an impressive start to the season, with another Premier League giant also looking to secure his services.

Under contract until June 30, 2026, with an option for extension until 2027 if he isn’t transferred in the upcoming summer transfer window, Rayan Cherki is at a crucial juncture in his career with Olympique Lyonnais. He has become a key player for the team, showcasing his talents in both Ligue 1 and the Europa League this season.

With 5 goals and 7 assists in 17 appearances across all competitions, Cherki’s performance has garnered significant attention. Reports suggest that both Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain are keen on acquiring the young star. According to French media, these two football powerhouses are eager to wrap up negotiations swiftly, aiming to bring Cherki on board as early as January 2025. This strategy is intended to secure his talents before competition intensifies next summer. However, questions remain about the player’s decision and the stance of Lyon, which is currently facing recruitment restrictions and needs to offload players in January.

Cherki’s intriguing social media post

Following Lyon’s defeat to Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday evening at Parc des Princes (3-1), Cherki took to social media to post photos of himself alongside an hourglass emoji. This sparked speculation among the Rhone community, interpreting it as a potential message to the Parisian club about a forthcoming signing.

However, OL supporters were soon reassured when Cherki shared another photo featuring a lion emoji. Nevertheless, the interest from PSG in the 21-year-old talent remains very real.
