Lyon has reiterated their determination to resist Chelsea’s interest in acquiring Rayan Cherki, despite ongoing speculation about the financial situation at the French club. Reports suggest that Lyon’s owner, John Textor, may need to sell players this summer to balance the books. Chelsea has reportedly already approached Textor to gauge his willingness to part with Cherki, who emerged from Lyon’s renowned youth system. Despite Lyon‘s financial concerns, they have no intention of selling Cherki. While there has been interest from other clubs, such as Newcastle, Lyon is steadfast in their refusal to let Cherki go.
