Olympique Lyonnais are asking around €30m for Rayan Cherki, according to Foot Mercato. OL is in trouble after DNCG punished them with a transfer ban in the winter transfer window. They are also facing relegation and if the football club cannot solve their financial problems. Lyon will be immediately relegated to Ligue 2 when the season ends.

The incident has led the former Ligue 1 giants to look for players to sell, including 21-year-old forward Cherki UFABET  

Cherki has only just signed a new contract until mid-2026 after being linked with a move away throughout the summer. But is now back in the news as the club look to raise funds.

Liverpool are reportedly keeping tabs on Cherki, with the English giants ready to make a move for the French youth international to Anfield. 

Lyonnais currently have a asking price of around €30m. Which is what the Reds or any other team would have to pay in January if they were to land Cherki.

One of those individuals is attacking midfielder Cherki, whose contract runs until the summer of 2026. The Reds have been linked with the 21-year-old since the summer but he stayed put at the French team.

Now, Foot Mercato claims the France Under-21 international will cost between €30m-€35m (£25m, £29.2m), with Liverpool merely keeping tabs on Cherki for now.
