OL Mercato: Aulas also solved the Rayan Cherki case
Lyon’s difficult 2021-2022 season is a working tool for Jean-Michel Aulas.

The Lyon leader is working to do this on the transfers of new players to arrive in his club, but also on securing the best of his current workforce.
It is in this context that the extension of Rayan Cherki’s contract has become an important subject at the club. The 18-year-old young striker trained by Lyon will be at the end of his contract in June 2023. Without an extension of it, he will become the Boubacar Kamara of OL.
The former OM defensive midfielder did not hesitate to leave his training club for free for Aston Villa where a comfortable salary awaited him. He therefore skipped the UEFA Champions League, which he could have played with Olympique de Marseille to join the 14th in the Premier League.
Jean-Michel Aulas therefore wants to avoid this number and has therefore taken initiatives towards his offensive player in recent weeks. The two parties are negotiating for an extension of the player’s contract. The good news is that the interested party was the first to announce the strong possibility of his further career at the club, persuading that the negotiations between his agents and the Lyon leaders are going well.

However, as long as there is nothing signed and formalized, the future of the player will remain in suspense. However, it is certain that Jean-Michel Aulas will appreciate his colt’s openness to remaining in the colors of the Olympique Lyonnais jersey. Lyon will nevertheless accelerate to obtain the extension of the contract of Rayan Cherkifor 2 more seasons.
