Barcelona and Real Madrid are already thinking about next season. That's why they have Lyon's young talent, the 16-year-old midfielder Rayan Cherki, on their agenda, as reported by the portal Calciomercato.
Real Madrid, which is known for signing young players with great potential, is following Cherki's movements, who has played seven games in the current edition of the French League. As we know, Real Madrid is thinking about its future team, that's why they bought the contracts of Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo, Brahim Díaz, Takefusa Kubo, and Reinier Jesus.
On the other hand, Barcelona wants to add Cherki to its ranks so that he can shine in the medium term alongside Jean-Clair Todibo, Emerson, Moussa Wagué, Pedri, or Trincao in the blaugrana team.
Thanks to his great potential, the player with Algerian heritage is already valued at 20 million euros, according to the specialized portal Transfermarkt.
Barcelona is the leader of La Liga with 58 points. Meanwhile, Real Madrid is in second position with 56 points. Both clubs have suspended their training sessions due to the global escalation of the coronavirus.
