Rayan Cherki's future

Prior to the January window opening, Liverpool were linked with attacker Rayan Cherki of French giants Lyon.

Lyon have sacked manager Pierre Sage and his coaching staff after a five-game winless streak, releasing the statement: "Olympique Lyonnais has been compelled to suspend coach Pierre Sage and staff members Jamal Alioui, Rui Lemos, Denis Valour and Remy Vercoutre, pending a decision in the next few days.

"This sporting decision, made in the current context of the 2024 - 2025 season, does not call into question the tremendous work carried out at the beginning of 2024, for which Olympique Lyonnais will always be grateful to Pierre Sage and his team."

Fabrizio Romano has since reported they are wasting no time, hoping to appoint ex-AC Milan boss Paulo Fonseca.

As of yet it remains unknown how any of this will impact Cherki's standing with the club before the window shuts next Monday.
