French media reports Liverpool contacting Lyon playmaker’s agent vox888

vox888 French media outlet L’Equipe has reported that Liverpool have contacted the representatives of Lyon playmaker Rayan Cherki about the possibility of signing him to the team.

The player’s club, Lyon, are in financial trouble and are at risk of relegation. They are currently fifth in Ligue 1 but have been hit by a major problem as the club’s debts have soared to €508 million. vox888

They will be relegated if they cannot solve their financial problems before the end of the season, which could force Lyon to sell a number of players to solve the problem.

Cherki is one of the most sought-after and likely transfer targets, with Liverpool keeping a close eye on the player’s situation.

Lyon are keen to keep hold of Cherki and Malik Fofana in their bid to secure Champions League football next season, but their financial situation could force them to let go, along with the rest of their squad.

The French giants have set a price tag of around €25 million for Cherki, who has scored two goals and provided three assists in 11 appearances this season.

The 21-year-old is believed to be keen on a move to Real Madrid but they are not interested in signing him at the moment, while Paris Saint-Germain could also return their interest. ( vox888 )
