In this transfer window, the Parisian club are looking to make smart moves, including the departure of Randal Kolo Muani, which could strengthen their financial and strategic position.

Olympique Lyon owner John Textor confirms Ryan Cherki wants to join PSG

A relevant statement has emerged in the context of the transfer market: the current owner of Olympique Lyon, John Textor, has revealed that Ryan Cherki, one of the most promising players in French football, has expressed his desire to join PSG in recent years.

At 21, Cherki has been a key figure for Olympique Lyon, making 20 appearances this season, with 5 goals and 7 assists, according to Transfermark statistics.

His talent has attracted the interest of several big clubs, including PSG. However, due to the rivalry between John Textor and the Parisian club, Cherki is unlikely to move to PSG, as mentioned by FootBoom.

Textor has expressed his reluctance to join a direct rival, which could open the door for Cherki to explore opportunities in other European leagues, such as the Premier League or Serie A.


What could be the fate of Ryan Cherki?

Meanwhile, Cherki’s future remains uncertain. Although his departure from Olympique Lyon seems likely, it has not been confirmed whether it will happen in this transfer window.

What is certain is that his talent positions him as a desired signing for many elite teams in Europe and at his young age it will be essential to see how this transfer window is handled with the player.

A few months ago, Cherki was linked with Real Madrid to continue his sporting career, but all this remained in rumours and now his future is uncertain.
