Lyon have confirmed the sale of Cherki. The Ligue 1 side are struggling financially and have been unable to extend the 21-year-old's contract – his current deal expires in 2026.

Cherki has received a lot of attention from English football representatives. According to The Sun, MU wants to get ahead of their rivals to win the signature of the French talent.

MU's absence from the European Cup next season is a big obstacle. However, the Red Devils want to compensate with a high salary for Cherki - the author of 12 goals and participating in 20 other goals in the 2024/25 season.

Sources from Spain said that Barca's plan is to buy back former player Alejandro Grimaldo from Bayer Leverkusen.

Grimaldo was trained at La Masia, playing for Barca B before bursting onto the scene with Benfica. The 29-year-old has developed a more complete game under Xabi Alonso at Leverkusen.

Hansi Flick is building a Barca with a strong La Masia feel. So, acquiring Grimaldo makes a lot of sense. He replaces Alejandro Balde on the left wing and can be a backup for Raphinha in attack.
