Rayan Cherki confirms change to Manchester City - decision is imminent!

Lyon, Frankreich - Rayan Cherki, the aspiring offensive talent of Olympique Lyon, cannot avoid dealing with the numerous rumors. On the outskirts of the National League semi-final between Spain and France, Cherki indicated that a decision regarding his possible transfer to Manchester City could soon be announced. In the past few weeks, its availability has developed into a hotly discussed topic, especially after the official announcement of his departure of Lyon in mid -May.

Total Cherki played 185 games for Lyon, scoring impressive 12 goals last season and gave 19 templates. While negotiations on the removing modalities have not yet been finalized, a move to Manchester City is considered very likely. The estimated transfer fee amounts to around 40 million euros, which Lyon urgently needs in view of his current financial difficulties.

Change to Manchester City

Manchester City plans to sign Cherki as a replacement for the migrating Kevin de Bruyne. Since de Bruyne will switch to another club free of charge and Napoli is the likely goal in the room, City sets the course for the upheaval on the offensive. Meanwhile, the team has given up interest in Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen and is now fully focused on the Frenchman's commitment.

The situation of Lyon is unique. The team is under pressure to make sales by the end of June to ensure financial stability and to avert an impending relegation. A quick conclusion of the transfer is sought because the FIFA World Club Championship begins in the United States in a week and Cherki should become part of this tournament.

The future of Cherki

Although the takeover of Cherki is becoming increasingly more likely, there are still uncertainties regarding the duration of the contract with Manchester City. However, Cherki has signaled that he is interested in working with the highly respected coach Pep Guardiola. Lyon expects an official offer from Manchester City this week and is optimistic that the transfer can be successfully completed.

In the midst of all these developments, it remains to be observed how Cherki's future is and whether he can successfully change to Manchester City. Football fans worldwide watch the situation around one of the most interesting talents in Ligue 1.
