Real Madrid Looking Into Lyon Forward As A Potential Summer Signing

The pressure to live up the name of Real Madrid is immense but there are several young stars that have the talent to do so. One potential summer signing Los Blancos can look into is Lyon forward Rayan Cherki.

The 16-year-old is currently signed with the Olympique Lyonnais and has shown promise for the club. The young forward represents France in international competitions and is anticipated to have a bright future ahead of him. In one of the biggest highlights of his career, Cherki was the youngest player to ever record a senior goal for Lyon.

The hype is slowly increasing as Cherki is already getting support from today’s brightest stars. Among these include Kylian Mbappe who has risen to be one of the biggest names in the sport today.

Mbappe has shared before how he was impressed by Cherki, stating that his age shouldn’t be a reason to look down on him. His consistent stellar performance has put him on the map as a name to look out for in years to come.

Per The Real Champs, Cherki is a possible player to acquire for Real Madrid and is the most realistic attacking signing for the club. While the main stars the team is looking out for include Erling Haaland and Mbappe, these big names will only be available on 2021 and beyond. If the team is looking to add more depth to the roster, the supposed prodigy can provide a boost to the squad.

It has been speculated that a sign-and-loan-back deal is possible with Lyon and Real Madrid for this negotiation to push through.

This could be a strong way to develop Cherki's skills even further as the experience of suiting up for Real Madrid under the leadership of Zinedine Zidane. With the locker room presence of legends under a historic organization, this deal could end up well for someone like Cherki who has all the potential in the world.

While nothing has been finalized yet, it would be interesting to see how this young talent will develop in the coming months.
