Liverpool, Man City and Tottenham 'make enquiries' for young Lyon ace Rayan Cherki who is set to leave French giants for just €22.5m in the summer transfer window

<p>Premier League champions Liverpool have made an enquiry over the signing of Lyon star Rayan Cherki but are expected to face competition from Manchester City and Tottenham, according to <a href="https://www.leparisien.fr/sports/football/ligue-1/mercato-pourquoi-le-psg-ne-devrait-pas-relancer-la-piste-cherki-12-05-2025-JCAU34XC55DFTOXEPKTDWQUQJA.php?ts=1747128087124" target="_blank">Le Parisien</a>. The 21-year-old eventually stayed at OL last year having courted interest from Paris Saint-Germain, but the Ligue 1 winners are not keen to wait around again and aren't expected to make another move, opening the door for Cherki to depart for an English side.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Cherki ended up renewing his contract with Lyon but there is a release clause of just €22.5m written into the deal. The price represents a bargain in the current market and Tottenham and Europa League final opponents Manchester United were both <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-tottenham-transfer-battle-sign-lyon-rayan-cherki-multiple-clubs/blt698ec179cb0cebfb#csdee13fddf84b3d33" target="_blank">reported to be ramping up their interest in the talented youngster</a> at the end of last month. However, City are also on the lookout for fresh legs in midfield and the prospect of playing a prominent role in a planned resurgence under Pep Guardiola could be an enticing one for Cherki.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Cherki scored in both legs of Lyon's Europa League quarter-final with United as the Ligue 1 side were knocked out of the competition in extraordinary fashion. He has registered eight goals and ten assists in Ligue 1 this season, but there is a danger of Lyon failing to qualify for European football next season as they currently sit seventh in France's top flight.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Cherki will be keen to help Lyon achieve continental qualification on the final Ligue 1 weekend of the season. Paulo Foncesca's outfit host Angers on Saturday night.</p>
