DONE DEAL: Rayan Cherki delivers his first words after he complete his Manchester City move

Manchester City has announced the third acquisition of the first transfer window of the summer, with Lyon’s Rayan Cherki joining the club.

Manchester City has finalized the acquisition of Rayan Cherki, a France playmaker, as their third acquisition of the summer transfer window.

The 21-year-old will be joining Pep Guardiola’s restoration at the Etihad for an initial fee of £31m (€36.5m) after the Blues reached an agreement with Lyon after weeks of negotiations.

Cherki is a part of a £109m investment in the first transfer window of the summer, which will enable City to reach their desired position prior to the Club World Cup. He will be employed on a five-year contract. The club has completed the majority of its incomings for the summer, with four new signings departing for the United States. This follows a £175m expenditure in January, which resulted in the arrival of four additional players.

City have promptly and effectively transitioned from the pursuit of Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz to succeed the departing Kevin De Bruyne. They will now endeavor to maintain their initial popularity among fans.

After making his international debut with a lively cameo against Spain in the UEFA Nations League, Cherki completed a transfer a week later. He is now seeking to make an impression at his new club.

“This is a dream come true for me.” He stated, “Really, the opportunity to advance in my career by joining a club like Manchester City is something that is very, very special.”

“I have dedicated my entire life to this endeavor.” I am passionate about this sport and am eager to further my development in Manchester with Pep and his backroom personnel.

“Everyone is aware of the exceptional performance of City; they have been so successful for an extended period.” I am eager to assume the responsibility of assisting the team in maintaining its success.

“I would only depart Lyon for a project in which I have a genuine conviction. The environment at City indicates that I have the potential to enhance my play and contribute to the team’s future success.” I am eager to demonstrate my capabilities to the City supporters.
