Liverpool is allegedly one of the clubs vying for the January transfer window signing of Lyon attacking midfielder Rayan Cherki.
The brilliant young Frenchman appears to be available on the cheap this winter, maybe for as low as €30 million.
According to Foot Mercato, Cherki’s most likely suitors are Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain.

Both teams appear to be eager to finalize a deal for Cherki as soon as possible in order to avoid additional competition for him later on.
The 21-year-old has an amazing record of five goals and seven assists this season, and it appears that he has a bright future ahead of him.

Liverpool may be an enticing alternative for a player like Cherki if he decides to leave Lyon, but PSG would also be difficult to turn down.
Cherki could be well to stay in Ligue 1 for a little longer while he’s still young, and he could play a bigger part if he moved to the Parc des Princes.
Liverpool boss Arne Slot already has plenty of attacking alternatives, with Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo, Diogo Jota, and Federico Chiesa all playing in Cherki’s position.
PSG, on the other hand, appear to be in need of some additional attacking quality after losing Kylian Mbappe in the summer, so someone like Cherki may be excellent for giving Luis Enrique’s side a lift in the second half of the season.
Liverpool fans will undoubtedly be keeping a close eye on this story, as €30 million might be an unbelievable steal for a talented prospect like Cherki.
