Athletic reports that Man City have reached a “comprehensive agreement” with Lyon for the transfer of Rayan Cherki for €40 million, including add-ons.
Because he wants Rayan Cherki in the squad for the tournament taking place in the US (from June 14 to July 13), Pep Guardiola has asked Man City to speed up the negotiation process.
As a result, the contract with Cherki will be completed by the Etihad team on the last day of the special transfer window (opened from June 1 and closed at 7 p.m. local time, June 10) to support Premier League clubs in strengthening their squad for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. Phase 2 of the summer transfer window for English clubs will reopen from June 16 to September 1.
Rayan Cherki shone for Lyon in the 2024/25 season, scoring 8 goals and providing 11 assists to help the team finish 6th in Ligue 1.
The 21-year-old also made his mark in the Europa League, scoring in both legs of Lyon's quarter-final against Manchester United, finishing the campaign with 12 goals and 20 assists in all competitions.
Cherki can play every position in attack, having played on both wings, as an attacking midfielder and as a striker.
The arrival of the Frenchman at Etihad is expected to help Man City fill the void left by Kevin de Bruyne, who will leave after 10 years of association and helping the team reap many glories, including the great treble, the miracle of 4 consecutive Premier League championships,...
Last season, Man City faced many storms, finishing 3rd in the Premier League, being eliminated by Real Madrid in the round of 16 of the Champions League and losing to Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final.
Pep Guardiola decided to drastically reform the squad in the summer transfer window to bring Man City back on track to conquer titles in the new campaign.
