Pep Guardiola has stepped into the market
This direct communication shows City’s intention in securing top-tier talent to maintain their competitive edge.
Cherki, known for his exceptional dribbling, vision, and versatility, has been on the radar of several European heavyweights, including Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund.
However, City’s recent advancements in negotiations have positioned them as frontrunners in the race for his signature.
Premier League champions Liverpool were also interested in the Lyon attacking midfielder but their focus on the potential signing of Florian Wirtz has given City an advantage in the race to sign Cherki.
The Frenchman can play as a right-winger as well as an attacking midfielder.
He has the quality to score goals as well as provide assists for his team. His potential addition to City would be crucial and something that the team desperately needs.
