The Eagles are prepared to offer £30m for the midfield schemer, but PSG and BVB are prepared to bid more, says The Sun.
And despite Palace director John Textor also owning Lyon, the American is expected to sell to the highest bidder.
For his part, Cherki would also prefer a move to a Champions League club if he must leave cash-strapped OL.
