Possible further transfers and player exits

In the coming weeks there could be further transfers for Manchester City. There are rumors about possible departures, including Everson, Stefan Ortega Moreno, John Stones and Jack Grialish.

In the near future, Cherki could celebrate his debut for Manchester City as part of the FIFA Club World Cup. The team will compete against Wydad AC on June 18, followed by other games against Al-In and Juventus. Lyon also secured a 15%sell-on clause in the deal for Cherki, which could protect the club in the future, Cherki should continue to play at this high level, as is emphasized by [Sports.yahoo] and [kicker].
