Rumors are rife in French soccer that the two giants, Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool, are targeting Lyon striker Sergei with the intention of recruiting him in the winter transfer window, with the star's future becoming more and more uncertain.
Shelkey's contract with Lyon expires in two years, and if the move is not successful by next summer, the club will open negotiations for a contract extension until 2027. This change undoubtedly adds an extra layer of complexity and financial burden for potential buyers.
Shelkey has been a star in Lyon this season, contributing 5 goals and 7 assists in 17 games, not only winning key battles for the team, but also earning himself praise from the industry and a following from fans. Shelkey has become an indispensable member of the team, and his departure will be a major blow to Lyon.
Meanwhile, Lyon is suffering from the embarrassing situation of not being able to attract reinforcements in the winter and will have to sell players in the next few months to ease the financial pressure. Shelkey's transfer will undoubtedly bring the club a handsome profit.
In addition to Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool, Germany's Leverkusen has also shown strong interest in Sergei. Among these three powerful teams, Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain are undoubtedly the most popular candidates for the transfer of Sergei, both teams have strong strength and abundant financial resources, which can provide Sergei with a broader space for development and a higher salary.
For Sergey, joining Paris Saint-Germain or Liverpool could be a turning point in his career, where he will be able to showcase his talent on a higher stage and compete with world-class players. For Lyon, the transfer of Sergei will not only bring financial support to the team, but will also help them to overcome the current financial difficulties.
