Atalanta are ramping up their efforts to secure the signing of Lyon’s forward, Rayan Cherki, with a fresh offer now on the table.
What was previously seen as a potential move for June has now become an urgent January priority for the Bergamo-based club.
“Atalanta are keen to finalise the Cherki deal as soon as possible to gain an edge over their competitors,” revealed a club insider, speaking anonymously to the local press.
The Serie A side is determined to strengthen their attacking options and believe that Cherki is the perfect addition to their squad.
Interest from other teams has become increasingly pronounced in recent days, but Atalanta are prepared to take swift action.
Club officials are reportedly optimistic about the prospect of securing the young talent well before the summer window.
The strategy, as insiders suggest, is to make an offer that Lyon cannot refuse and to persuade Cherki with the promise of significant playing time and development opportunities.
