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. PSG are still monitoring Cherki after their initial summer interest.

The player was disappointed by the failed negotiation with PSG at the end of June for 15 million euros.

Rayan Cherki does not want to renew his contract with Lyon and has been training separately from the main squad. In July, he had an agreement in principle with PSG for a transfer worth around 15 million euros, but the deal fell through as he expressed interest in signing with Dortmund, who did not make a formal offer.

Rayan Cherki is ready to leave Lyon, as confirmed by the sporting director David Friio. Cherki is currently engaged in the Olympics with the French Under-23 national team. Cherki has a contract with Lyon until June 30, 2025, but will leave a year before his contract expires.
