The French club may be forced to sell Rayan Cherki as they face relegation punishment amid financial turmoil
The tricky 21-year-old is a product of the French club's academy and is having a positive season in Ligue 1. Rangers fans got an up-close look at his wondrous left foot when the seven-time Ligue 1 champions visited Ibrox in the Europa League last month. However, Lyon president John Textor has admitted that Rayan Cherki's future is uncertain now that they face the threat of relegation.
"We lost €15m from his sale last summer… but his value is now way higher," he said. "He should stay in January but it’s up to Rayan, he decides what he wants to do. We have an excess of superb players. The coach has almost impossible decisions to make. I hate rumours about which players to sell, it all depends on the opportunities, but the certainty is the abundance of players. We have 29 players in the first team. Ideally, we want 23 or 24. There are six players too many.
