Paris Saint-Germain must replace Kylian Mbappé and his goal-scoring prowess after his summer departure. 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.
The French giants are reportedly eyeing another talented young player from Olympique Lyonnais, Rayan Cherki, who is on their radar. This wouldn’t be the first time they’ve made a move for a Lyon player, having snatched Bradley Barcola from the Ligue 1 club just last year.
Could they plan to make it two summers in a row that they’ve poached another of Lyon’s young stars?
The latest information comes from L’Equipe, which reports that PSG remains keen on Cherki, and despite being under contract until 2025, he might part ways with his current club.
Luis Enrique has given the green light for a potential transfer, and OL seems more flexible now than six months ago. If PSG does want the 20-year-old this summer, they’ll need to act fast.
Le PSG s’intéresse toujours a Cherki. Sous contrat jusqu’en 2025 il va quitter son club. Luis Enrique a validé une possible arrivée. Lyon devrait se montrer moins inflexibles qu’il y a un an demi
Akliouche est également dans le viseur, mais Monaco ne veut pas le vendre

According to a recent report from Sports Zone, Cherki has attracted interest from Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool, with the two Premier League clubs being the most interested so far in this race.
