<p>Cherki has scored 12 goals and provided 19 assists for Lyon across all competitions, and his <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/rayan-cherki-football-manager-wonderkid-lyon-genius-threat-man-utd-europa-league/blt90f627f8aa4cace1" target="_blank">sensational form in the 2024-25 campaign</a> has attracted interest from several top European clubs. According to <a href="https://www.caughtoffside.com/2025/04/29/exclusive-man-united-tottenham-attacking-midfielder/" target="_blank"><em>Caughtoffside</em></a>, Premier League giants United and Spurs are currently leading the race to sign the French star in the summer.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The report adds that Lyon have set an asking price of €30-35 million (£25m/$34m-£29m/$39m) for the player and for most top European sides, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-liverpool-cut-price-deal-lyon-rayan-cherki-verbal-release-clause/blt741ec112e6654f6b#csb11458adbae08916" target="_blank">it is a cut-price deal</a> considering the amount of talent the 21-year-old possesses.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Clubs like Juventus, AC Milan, Bayer Leverkusen, Arsenal, Newcastle United and Aston Villa are all keeping a close eye on the French sensation while Crystal Palace could emerge as a dark horse in the transfer race as they have started to look for Eberechi Eze's replacement, should their star player exit Selhurst Park in the summer.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>For now, Cherki remains focused on helping his side secure a Champions League slot. The fifth-placed Ligue 1 club will be next seen in action on Sunday as they host Lens.</p>
