Manchester City are set to improve their offer to Olympique Lyonnais for Rayan Cherki (21), according to a report from Fabrizio Romano.
It was reported by Sacha Tavolieri that Manchester City’s opening offer was rejected by Lyon after it fell short of their €35-40 million valuation of the France international. Tavolieri wrote that Manchester City only offered €23 million. An improved bid was expected, with Cherki being the Premier League side’s priority target as they look for a new playmaker.
Romano explains that talks between Lyon and Manchester City have restarted, with Cherki very keen to join the English club. It’s been previously reported that Cherki has already agreed on personal terms with Manchester City and had spoken to Pep Guardiola about the project.
Cherki recently became a France international for the first time, earning his debut and scoring against Spain in the Nations League semi-final defeat (5-4). He also made an appearance in the third-place playoff victory against Germany (2-0).
