Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Chelsea believes they may be able to sign Rayan Cherki from Lyon this summer at a bargain transfer fee, according to a report from 90min. The 19-year-old attacking midfielder has impressed Chelsea officials, and talks have begun with Lyon regarding a potential move. While Lyon has set a €50 million price tag on Cherki, Chelsea is hoping to strike a deal around €35 million. The potential transfer is viewed as an enticing opportunity for Chelsea.
Cherki’s skillset, including quick dribbling and close control in the final third, makes him an enjoyable player to watch. As a young talent with lots of potential, he has already received praise from figures in the game, such as Lyon manager Laurent Blanc and ESPN commentator Frank Leboeuf. Chelsea sees Cherki as a player who could make an impact in the Premier League and provide the flair that has been missing since the days of Eden Hazard.
While Chelsea aims to add quality to their midfield, they must also be cautious about overloading the squad with too many future stars. However, given Cherki’s talent and potential, many believe he could already contribute at the highest level. The ongoing negotiations between Chelsea and Lyon will determine if the transfer can be completed, and fans are hopeful to see Cherki lighting up Stamford Bridge with his skills.
