A person is said to be a ‘white blackbird’ when they stand out for their rarity or extraordinary value compared to others of the same species (since most of these birds have black feathers). Brought to the world of football and more specifically to Olympique Lyonnaisno footballer stands out more in his particularities than Rayan Cherki (21), a talented midfielder in his time associated with interest from real Madrid (while Zinedine Zidane in the white set) about to fly very far from the city where the Rhône and Saône rivers meet.
It just so happens that the aforementioned historic French football club is in a more delicate economic situation, which means that it cannot avoid losing its stars, and no other team can generate more income than the aforementioned Cherky. Lyon’s accumulated debt is around 500 million euros and the French National Directorate of Management Control has decided that if it does not achieve a minimum of 100 ‘acts’ before the end of this season, it will be relegated to Ligue 2 .
There are several teams that have already picked up the phone to communicate with Rayan Cherki and himself Olympique Lyonnais to know for himself what is being asked of him. Among them are the Real Betis of Manuel Pellegrini although the green and white team does not promise that it will be so easy considering that it is said that the Chelsea of Enzo Maresca (how not?), the Liverpool of Arne Slott and the Paris Saint-Germain of Luis Enrique They also have a name Rayan Cherki mentioned in their agendas.
As for the price, it is speculated to be around 20 million euros Olympique Lyonnais I would say ‘yes’. In the past, the French team has rejected offers higher than this amount, but it is currently undergoing a forced sale and has no choice but to remove the last great product from a quarry where others such as Karim Benzema either Nabil Fekir. Now it’s up to Rayan Cherkithe last ‘white blackbird’ of Lyon, reached high levels even if it was by flying away from what would never cease to be his home.
