Lazio are stepping up their pursuit of Olympique Lyon’s Rayan Cherki, according to the Italian sports daily Corriere dello Sport.

The Biancocelesti have been actively searching for attacking options, and Cherki has emerged as a prime target.

Cherki is an attractive proposition for Lazio, as the young talent is entering the final year of his contract with Lyon.

Lazio’s initial offer to the French club has been made, although specific figures have not been disclosed at this time.

A source close to the negotiations stated, “Lazio are keen to bring in a player of Cherki’s calibre, and his contract situation makes him a viable target.”

It remains to be seen how Lyon will respond to Lazio’s approach, but Cherki’s potential move could significantly bolster Lazio’s attacking line-up.
