Aged 18, and with several seasons already under his belt, Rayan Cherki is logically one of the players OL wants to rely on for the medium and long term. Only, this season, the pure product of the Lyon academy must be satisfied with the crumbs, with two small tenures in Ligue 1, for thirteen league appearances in total, and 287 small minutes played.
It is difficult in this context to develop its potential. As indicated by the dailyTeam, the attacking midfielder is now thinking of a departure. An event in particular precipitated his desire to leave the capital of Gaul. Facing Troyes, Peter Bosz decided not to bring him into play…
Big clubs already on the lookout
The OL coach had replaced Moussa Dembélé with Malo Gusto, which clearly did not please Cherki. Even if there were departures for the CAN, like Toko-Ekambi or Kadewere, this did not really allow him to scratch playing time, In 2022, he thus only played 19 minutes in total, against PSG in Ligue 1 (1-1).
Still according to the media, several major European clubs and Ligue 1 teams, such as OGC Nice, are thinking of enlisting him. If his entourage had so far rejected a good number of approaches, that will no longer be the case… And we must not forget that the possible arrival of Sardar Azmoun – file of which we inform you exclusively on Foot Market for a few weeks – will not help the one whose contract ends in 2023. The end of a story that looked so promising?
