Fabrizio Romano Drops Latest PSG Stance for Liverpool, Tottenham Transfer Target | OneFootball

PSG had reportedly been monitoring Lyon midfielder Rayan Cherki, who’s also attracting interest from Liverpool and Tottenham.

The 21-year-old has been in excellent form this season, recording 12 goals and 20 assists in 44 appearances. His performances have quickly established him as one of the most exciting young talents in Europe.

Graeme Bailey of TBR Football previously reported that Manchester United is among several Premier League clubs keeping tabs on Cherki. Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham, Aston Villa, and Newcastle are also said to be closely following his situation.

The interest isn’t limited to England. Bayern Munich and PSG were both believed to have re-entered the race following Cherki’s impressive run of form. However, according to Foot Mercato, PSG are no longer pursuing a move. No talks are currently taking place, and none are expected anytime soon.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano says there have been plenty of talks about PSG going after Cherki, but for now, they’re not planning to make a move.

With all the recent buzz about Cherki, Christian Falk says Borussia Dortmund remain interested in the midfielder. That said, any transfer might hinge on Dortmund’s player sales or the money they bring in from the Club World Cup.

“Dortmund will discuss whether or not to pursue Rayan Cherki at the end of the season,” the Bayern Insider exclusively informed CaughtOffside.

“BVB are, for what it’s worth, still highly interested in the Olympique Lyonnaise player. However, without any sales or an outstanding performance at the upcoming Club World Cup (worth €1.78 million per group stage win), there is hardly much of a transfer budget available.”

Moreover, Falk spoke about where Liverpool sit in this Cherki race and hints that they might be closer to where PSG are at the moment.

“Negotiations could then become very difficult again, as they were previously in January,” Falk added. “There’s no real news about Cherki and Liverpool.”
