Paris Saint-Germain are gearing up to replace Kylian Mbappé and his goal-scoring prowess after his departure this summer. The French scored 44 goals in 48 appearances in all competitions during the 2023-24 season, so it will be a number the team replaces as a group.
One player that the French giants are keen on is Olympique Lyonnais sensation Rayan Cherki. Last season, the capital club scooped up Bradley Barcola from OL. Could they land the player for a second straight summer?
Nonetheless, PSG face a challenge from two Premier League clubs to secure the 20-year-old. According to Sports Zone, the Lyon player has attracted interest from Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool, with the latter two being the most interested so far.
The Parisians remain interested in him and will decide based on the progress of the transfer market. Moreover, the information reveals that Cherki wants to leave Lyon this summer.
