Rayan Cherki announced his departure from Olympique Lione after over 14 years with the club. He mentioned in an interview that he believes his last match was against Angers, which they won 2-0. Napoli showed strong interest in Cherki, who is looking for new challenges possibly in Serie A. Napoli is yet to renew the contract of Anguissa, which might open a spot for a player like Cherki.

Rayan Cherki has been suggested to Napoli as a potential transfer following Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's move to PSG. Napoli has recently acquired 70 million euros from this transfer, and it remains uncertain whether they will make a move for Cherki. Cherki, currently contracted with Olympique Lyonnais until June 2026, with an option to extend until 2027, has attracted interest from several clubs, including PSG and Liverpool. Despite having a valuation of approximately 30 million euros, his future is uncertain as Napoli considers this opportunity amidst strong competition from other clubs.
