Back in February, we covered claims from Italy that Chelsea have a ‘strong interest’ in Lyon star Rayan Cherki.
Fast forward to May and Jeunes Footeux bring Chelsea back into the fold when discussing his future.
Chelsea have the 20-year-old on their radar and could be set for a tussle with Paris Saint-Germain in the summer window.
The attacking midfielder has just over a year left on his contract and the report says he’s currently valued at €24m.
It’s claimed the player would be a ‘golden opportunity’ for the Paris club, probably taking his age, form and valuation into account.
PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi is keen on the France U23 international and is ready to beat Chelsea and Newcastle United for his signature. Jeunes Footeux say the Blues aren’t willing to give up and ‘will be ready to outbid’ competition to try to sign the player.
Kylian Mbappé’s mother Fayza Lamari manages Cherki and the former has decided not to continue at PSG. The report says it needs to be seen if the Ligue 1 winners, led by Al-Khelaïfi, are ‘not at odds’ with Lamari and ‘above all Chelsea’.
Cherki has managed three goals and registered eight assists from 38 games this season. The website says he’s a player with an ‘extraordinary technical quality’ and is ‘ready to explode’, if he joins a top club.
