Ligue 1 genius &quot: Liverpool is preferred this summer;

Cherki's Anfield dream may inject new vitality into the Reds' front line

As Slot gradually builds the Liverpool summer window signing blueprint, Lyon midfielder Cherki's name is attracting strong attention. After experiencing an explosive performance in the 2024/25 season, the 21-year-old star has become one of the hottest rookies in Europe. According to the exclusive disclosure of "Give Me Sport", Cherky has clearly expressed his desire for Merseyside.

"Chelsea decided to make Liverpool a priority for transfers this summer ", the media revealed. This trend is particularly worthy of attention, after all, Tottenham and Manchester City are also eyeing it. The current status of the French genius contract provides the Red Army with excellent opportunities. It is said that its termination fee is only 22.5 million euros. For players who have scored 31 goals in a single season, it can be called a "baby price" in today's transfer market, which is seriously premium.

Stunning data supports super high value

Chell's performance in the basic season is phenomenal: among the five European league midfielders, he ranks among the top 1% in many key data: averaging 0.51 assists, 7.56 shots and creating moves, 9.45 progressive passes, and 4.55 successful breakthroughs. These figures out a super engine that can continue to create threats in offensive zone 3.

Such data shows that Cherky is not only the creator, but also the core of the elite offensive. His ability to push the ball with the ball and tear the defense line is a key link for Liverpool to occasionally show fatigue.

Slott's tactical system may become the best stage

Under the guidance of the Dutch coach, the Red Army is building an offensive system with more liquidity and technical content. Slott emphasizes the tactical philosophy of ball control and dynamic conversion, which is perfectly consistent with the traits of Cherqui's versatile players. Whether it is the core of the middle lane organization or the wing lane dealer, French young players can seamlessly connect.

Although rumors of the Red Army's scandal with Leverkusen's genius Wiltz are rampant, Cherki is still a realistic goal. "Give Me Sport" analyzed: "The Reds' sudden pursuit of Werz forced Lyon midfielder to be patient. "But this waiting may soon pay off. The player's recent statement has hinted at his determination to leave the team:

"The future is uncertain." When asked where he was asked, he admitted: "But what is certain is that I have given all my money for the club... I have no regrets at this moment. No matter what happens, I will fight to the last moment." This farewell speech clearly reveals an ambition to a broader stage.

Tactical puzzle for filling in unique styles

Cherky, who is only 21 years old, shows a view of the overall situation beyond his age, and his wisdom to wander in the rib space complements his ability to break through the defense line. This combination of delicateness and sharpness may add a new dimension to the Red Army's offensive system. Compared with Werz, who is worth over 100 million yuan, the French provide a more cost-effective choice. It is quite creative, has better location diversity, and has not yet reached the talent ceiling. Under Slott's training, he is fully expected to transform into a top Premier League superstar.

Our view

From the perspective of Red Army fans, this potential deal is both passionate and rational. When public opinion focuses on sky-high targets such as Wilz, Cherky may be the smarter choice: younger (21 years old), more malleable, and more importantly, he takes the initiative to show goodwill to Anfield. With the help of Manchester City and Tottenham, this "Son Army Dream" is worth a thousand gold.

22.5 million euros termination fee is "free" in today's market, and its technical talent is rare among the same age group. The most heart-wrenching thing is his data portrait: Europe's top gradual passes and breakthrough data, which perfectly matches the pain points of the Reds' weak attack last season.

Slott's champion team relies on system operation and tactical discipline to the top, and a player like Cherki, who is full of improvisational creativity, is the key to cracking the intensive defense. When public opinion heats up discussions on the reconstruction of the "post-Klopp era", the Dutch young marshal may be brewing a more exciting blueprint. If Cherki becomes the next puzzle, we agree.
