Liverpool, Tottenham Target’s Attitude Displeases PSG as Surprise Move to Dortmund Looms

In recent weeks, Olympique Lyonnais star Rayan Cherki has attracted interest from major European clubs, including Paris Saint-Germain, Liverpool, and Tottenham Hotspur. However, it seems the 20-year-old won’t be staying in France or heading to England.

According to a recent report from L’Equipe, PSG made an initial offer to Les Gones of €15 million plus an additional €3 million in bonuses. However, Lyon rejected this proposal because it insisted on including a significant sell-on clause in any potential deal.

Moreover, a report from the French media outlet this past weekend revealed that Borussia Dortmund had swooped in as a surprise candidate to land the player.

L’Equipe has followed up this report with more information as they revealed that the player should sign with Dortmund. Additionally, the 20-year-old refused PSG at the last moment, an attitude that the club did not appreciate and attributes to the player’s entourage.

Rumors suggested Cherki would make the jump to a big club this summer. Still, it appears he has chosen to take a smaller step in his development by joining a club renowned for nurturing young talent. In a few years, when he feels more prepared, Cherki may consider transferring to a more prominent club, such as PSG or a Premier League team.
