Liverpool will reportedly step up their efforts to sign Lyon starlet Rayan Cherki in 2025 as the Reds look to attack the Ligue 1 giants’ current financial situation.
Last week, the French financial control body (DNCG) gave a severe penalty The Skirts as the French outfit have been hit with a provisional relegation to Ligue 2, the supervision of their wages and a transfer ban.
This is due to your current financial situation and one way to deal with these penalties is to raise money to reach the required threshold.
Selling valuable players is the fastest way to achieve this and one of the stars attracting a lot of interest is Cherki.
according to Fabrice Hawkins from RMC SportLiverpool have stepped up their efforts to sign the 21-year-old, having been linked with the midfielder in recent weeks. The Reds want to join Arne Slot’s side in 2025 after doing very little business this summer and Lyon’s situation gives the Merseyside side the chance to sign some very exciting talent.
Cherki has been with the Ligue 1 giants his entire career, making 152 appearances The Skirtswith 19 goals and 28 assists.
How much will Rayan Cherki cost Liverpool in 2025?
Last weekend, Lyon owner John Textor stated as much Cherki’s departure would be the player’s “choice”. as it is clear that the Ligue 1 club would be open to selling the midfielder for the right price.
Cherki is believed to be worth around €25 million the team reporting that Liverpool have already inquired about the playmaker before stepping up their efforts. The Reds appear to be the most serious pursuers of the 21-year-old, however, and the French talent is believed to be dreaming of a move to Real Madrid.
€25 million is a bargain for a player of Cherki’s potential and it’s a deal Liverpool could try to do in January before other clubs take an interest in the young midfielder.
