Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund are leading the race to sign want-away Lyon playmaker Rayan Cherki (20), according to a report this Sunday from Foot Mercato. Rayan Cherki, who is currently on international duty with Thierry Henry’s France Olympic football team, is expected to leave his formative club this summer.
The attacking midfielder remains tied with Olympique Lyonnais with a contract set to expire in 2025. Les Gones have submitted Rayan Charki a three-year renewal, but on reduced terms. As revealed by Get French Football News, Rayan Cherki will not sign a new deal, paving the way for a departure.
PSG, Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool were reportedly interested in luring the highly talented but inconsistent Rayan Cherki. It appears 2024 Champions League runners-up Borussia Dortmund have stolen a march on their rivals. Foot Mercato understands that the Ruhr outfit have been monitoring the Lyon-born playmaker for two years now and that Borussia Dortmund are the favorite to sign him, although Ligue 1 champions PSG have not given up hope in the race to sign Rayan Cherki from their domestic rivals.
