📖 2023-2024: Cherki's shirt before the big move
A third kit like no other: navy base, bursts of red, blue, yellow and pink like shattered stained glass across the lower shirt. On the back, the No.18 of Rayan Cherki — the pure Lyon academy product who has since left for Manchester City.
🏫 A club-raised player. Cherki joined the OL academy as a young boy and made his professional debut at 16 in 2019. The 2023-2024 season is when he settled permanently into the starting eleven.
🏴☠️ A remarkable turnaround season. OL started 2023-2024 at the bottom of the table and finished in the top half after an exceptional second half of the season, with a Coupe de France final along the way.
📈 The shirt from before the transfer. Cherki has since joined Manchester City. As with Camavinga or Doku, Lyon shirts printed with his name have become much harder to find since he left.
👑 Rayan Cherki — born in Lyon in 2003, developed at OL, professional debut at 16. An attacking midfielder with bewildering dribbling, France international, he embodies the best of the Lyon academy tradition.
❓ Frequently asked questions about this shirt
Is the shirt 100% authentic?
Yes. Original adidas label 04/23 with code IQ3886 (photo 4), embroidered crest, official Ligue 1 Uber Eats patch, LFP printing. Authentication carried out in my workshop, real photos of the exact item sold, lifetime authenticity guarantee.
Has the shirt been worn?
It is rated 10/10: no flaws, no signs of wear, no pilling found. The colour blocks are at full density and the printings perfectly smooth. This is a shirt that clearly saw little or no use.
Why is this printing sought after?
Because Rayan Cherki left OL for Manchester City. Lyon shirts printed with a player's name before his big move systematically become rarer — nobody had them printed in quantity at the time.
How does this S fit?
47 cm pit to pit and 73 cm in length, flat measurements given above. It is a modern adidas S with a slim, fairly long cut. If you prefer a looser fit, go one size up.
