Manchester City has secured 21-year-old attacking midfielder Rayan Cherki from Lyon for an initial fee of £36 million, potentially rising with add-ons. Cherki, who has nearly 200 appearances with Lyon and two caps for France, has signed until 2030. This transfer, along with recent signings such as left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri, marks the beginning of significant changes under the new director of football, Hugo Viana, following a disappointing season. Cherki expressed enthusiasm about joining City and his commitment to developing further.
I would only leave Lyon for a project I really believe in and everything at City suggests I can develop my game and help the team be successful in the future.
Viana said Cherki, who can play in the middle or as a winger on either flank, is a player our scouts have watched for a long time.
