Paris Saint-Germain were quiet in the previous three and a half weeks of the transfer market, but in the calm of the ongoing window, they woke up. L’Equipe writes that the French champions will try to bring in Rayan Cherki, Lyon’s attacking midfielder.Interest in Cherki appeared the moment Pablo Sarabia left the Parc des Princes and signed for Wolverhampton. Saints’ coach Christophe Galtier did not hide the fact that he would like to get another winger since he was left without the Spaniard and the management set out to fulfill his wish.##NAJAVA_MECA_6971199##Paris Saint-Germain executives have been negotiating with their colleagues from Lyon for several days, and they even sent the first offer to the Groupama stadium. The sum is not known, but L’Equipe points out that since it arrived, Lyon’s management is thinking about the response.Lyon are in quite a dilemma because by the end of the transfer window, they could be left without Karl Toko Ekambi (Celta, Rennes) and Romain Faivre (Lorient), and the potential departure of Cherki would further reduce Laurent Blanc’s options in attack. On the other hand, Cherki has only a year and a half left on his contract and the question is whether Lyon will have a better opportunity to make money from the sale of the 19-year-old attacker.🚨 OL President Jean-Michel Aulas says he doesn’t want to sell Rayan Cherki!“He is a child of the club who is part of our project. Seeing him courted is normal and makes us proud of our academy too, but having him with us is more important than anything! » 🗣️ pic.twitter.com/mHocMPDPoY— Towsif Ahmed (@_Towsifahmed) January 25, 2023 Since his debut for Lyon’s first team, Cherki has been marked as one of the most talented and creative footballers of his generation, but in none of the previous three seasons did he manage to gain a respectable amount of playing minutes. However, this did not deter the Parisians from their intention to hire him. After all, this is not the first time that Parc des Princes is interested in Cherki, since they tried to snatch him from Lyon when the footballer signed his first professional contract with his current club.
