Olympique Lyonnais standout Rayan Cherki has one year left on his contract, and this summer will probably be the last time the French club can sell him to secure a transfer sum.
In the last few weeks, the rising star has been linked to various clubs like Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool, but it seems as though Paris Saint-Germain want to secure another Lyon player for the second straight summer.
Last year, the Parisians landed Bradley Barcola from OL and now they are making progress in signing Cherki. According to L’Equipe, the capital club have reportedly sent their first offer to their Ligue 1 rival, which is a €15 million bid with €3 million in bonuses.

The 20-year-old is also “very receptive” to the idea of joining his former Lyon teammate. Last season, Cherki made 39 appearances, scoring three goals and registering nine assists for OL.
