Kenya, May 27 -- Manchester City is increasing its efforts to sign Rayan Cherki, a 21-year-old midfielder from Lyon. He is known for being creative and good at dribbling the ball.
Cherki has a release clause between £20 million and £25 million, making him an interesting choice for Pep Guardiola's team.
City is interested in Cherki as part of a plan to replace Kevin De Bruyne, who is very important in the midfield.
Cherki's skills could fit well with Guardiola's style of play, and he is seen as a player for the future.
Additionally, City is looking at Morgan Gibbs-White from Nottingham Forest as a possible option for the #10 position, but this interest is still uncertain.
They are also considering Tijjani Reijnders from AC Milan for the #8 position, which shows they want to improve their midfield.
As the transfer window gets busier, Manchester City are showing that it wants to stay at the top in both domestic and European competitions.
Talks with Lyon for Cherki are expected to speed up soon, with Guardiola eager to have the young player on his team for the upcoming 2025/26 season.
