Lyon are asking for at least €30 million to sell Rayan Cherki, according to French media. Lyon need to raise funds due to financial sanctions and debts. Cherki is almost certain to depart the club next year. Bayer Leverkusen have been added to his list of suitors.

Bayer Leverkusen is interested in signing Rayan Cherki, an attacking midfielder from Olympique Lyon. Due to Lyon's financial difficulties, they are open to selling players to avoid forced relegation from Ligue 1. Cherki, a French U23 national player, is reportedly not opposed to a move to the Bundesliga. Leverkusen is observing the player closely.
