Rayan Cherki has been linked to a move to the Premier League with Crystal Palace showing interest. Cherki has refused to rule out a move away from Lyon following these links. The club is reportedly facing financial difficulties, which might necessitate selling him. Cherki's current contract ends in 2026, and he was previously on the market for €15 million. His estimated transfer value now is €9.3 million.
Rayan Cherki has refused to rule out a move away from Lyon in the near future. Crystal Palace is one of the Premier League clubs showing interest. Cherki is valued at €30m by Transfermarkt. Lyon is facing financial difficulties and might need to sell Cherki to balance their books and avoid relegation.
The Sun reports an offer from Crystal Palace, with Borussia Dortmund and Paris St. Germain also mentioned as contenders. Bayer Leverkusen has also shown interest in Cherki. Olympique Lyon demands a transfer fee of 30 to 35 million Euros.
Crystal Palace sees Rayan Cherki as a perfect replacement for Michael Olise, who has moved to FC Bayern. A notable advantage for Crystal Palace in this transfer is that John Textor, who owns 40% of Crystal Palace, also owns Olympique Lyon, potentially giving them leverage in signing Cherki.
Rayan Cherki does not want to renew his contract with Lyon and has been training separately from the main squad. Crystal Palace is interested in signing him.
