Last Friday, the DNCG (Direction Nationale du Contrôle de Gestion) imposed a tough sanction on Olympique Lyonnais, putting the club at risk of relegation to Ligue 2 unless their financial situation improves significantly.
This could force Lyon to sell key players like Rayan Cherki or Malick Fofana for a lower price during the winter transfer window. In September, Cherki signed a two-year contract extension with OL, which gives the club some leverage in any potential sale.
According to a recent report from L’Équipe, Cherki could leave Lyon this winter. Although his dream is to play for Real Madrid, both Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain are also monitoring his situation.

Fichajes reports that Chelsea and Liverpool have made €20 million bids for Cherki, with the 21-year-old potentially being sold due to Lyon’s financial difficulties.
The Daily Mail recently revealed that Liverpool are eyeing Cherki as a possible replacement for Mohamed Salah, while Lyon aims to raise funds to address their financial struggles.
