Ryan Cherki’s agents have made approaches to several Premier League sides including Manchester United and Liverpool with a view of a transfer.
According to Caught Offside, Rayn Cherki looks destined to leave Lyon in the summer as his agents have approached several Premier League clubs over a move. Manchester United and Liverpool are part of that list as the English giants appear the most interested in the versatile attacker ahead of the summer.
Rayan Cherki impressed some of the observers during his trip to Old Trafford with Lyon, which his team eventually lost. Manchester United are one of the admirers of the Lyon versatile attacker, with Ruben Amorim will likely feel the need to include a player of his stature in his system.
Cherki will enter the final year of his deal at Lyon and could be made available for a cut-price fee in the summer. Manchester United are seen as one of the front runners in the chase, as a host of other Premier League sides including Manchester City and Newcastle United are keen.
Newcastle United views Cherki as a market opportunity and have been impressed by his displays for Lyon this season which has produced 30 goals and assists. Manchester City are in the market for a Kevin De Bruyne replacement, with a firm interest in Florian Wirtz evident. However, Liverpool are in talks with Wirtz, as they too view Cherki as an alternative to the German playmaker.
Liverpool could suffer a blow in their pursuit of Wirtz, who reportedly prefers to stay in Germany and join Bayern Munich instead. Hence, the idea of Cherki might appeal to those in charge of the Merseysiders’ transfers, with the 30 G/A Frenchman from Lyon reportedly open to joining the Reds.
