AC Milan Hold Talks Over Liverpool, Tottenham Target Amid PSG Doubt | OneFootball

PSG had reportedly been monitoring Lyon midfielder Rayan Cherki, who’s also attracting interest from Liverpool and Tottenham. But the latest development sees a new contender from Italy entering the race.

The 21-year-old is enjoying a standout season, racking up 12 goals and 20 assists in 44 appearances, and has quickly emerged as one of the most exciting young talents in Europe.

Graeme Bailey of TBR Football previously reported that Manchester United is among several Premier League clubs keeping tabs on Cherki. Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham, Aston Villa, and Newcastle are also said to be closely following his situation.

The interest isn’t just coming from England. Bayern Munich and PSG were believed to have re-entered the mix after the 21-year-old’s impressive form. However, according to Foot Mercato, PSG are no longer pursuing a move. There are no talks taking place, and none are expected any time soon.

On Tuesday, Foot Mercato reported that Liverpool, Borussia Dortmund, and AC Milan are all keeping a close eye on Cherki, with Milan already having held talks with Lyon. However, the French club has yet to receive any official offers for the attacking midfielder.

Despite reports suggesting PSG are no longer in the race, CaughtOffside recently noted that Rayan Cherki continues to attract interest from several top clubs, including Manchester City, Tottenham, Newcastle, Bayern Munich, and PSG as well. That has opened the door for Premier League sides, with Liverpool and Manchester United reportedly showing the most serious interest.

The report also claims that Manchester United are giving real consideration to a move for Cherki, viewing him as a potential upgrade over underperforming players like Marcus Rashford and Antony this season.
