Rayan Cherki, current player of Olympique de Lyon, is being targeted by two big clubs from the Premier League: Liverpool and Chelsea. Both teams have put a 20 million euros offer on the table for the talented winger, at a crucial moment for Olympique de Lyon. The economic situation of the French club, marked by a debt of 500 million euros, has forced the entity to sell its stars, and Cherki has become one of the main players likely to be transferred.

At 21 years old, Cherki has displayed his ability to unbalance games with his talent, vision, and capacity to create goal-scoring opportunities. Despite being considered one of Olympique de Lyon's biggest assets, the club cannot afford to keep all its stars due to the financial crisis it is going through. The situation has led the sports management to accept offers for their most important players, and Cherki is one of them.

Liverpool, with its dynamic and offensive style of play, sees in Cherki a young player with huge potential to add to its squad. With some players leaving and the need to strengthen its attack, the team led by Arne Slot is willing to invest in Cherki's talent, who could bring speed and creativity to the "Reds" front line. The possibility of the player joining a club of Liverpool's caliber represents an opportunity for both the team and Cherki himself, who would have the chance to evolve in one of the most competitive leagues in the world.

On the other hand, Chelsea is also interested in the player, looking to bolster its squad with young promises. With its current rebuilding process, the London team has opted for a series of future-oriented signings, and Cherki would fit perfectly into that philosophy. The French winger could offer the creativity and drive that Chelsea needs in its attack, helping the "Blues" to regain the level that has characterized them in previous years.

Olympique de Lyon at a crossroads.

The 20 million euros offer from both clubs is significant but might not be enough to secure Cherki's signing. However, given Lyon's financial situation, it is likely that the club will be forced to sell the player to remain in Ligue 1. Rayan Cherki's future seems to be moving further away from the French team, and the final decision could be made in the upcoming transfer window.
