Manchester City risks big. Found guilty of 114 alleged breaches of the financial regulations of the Premier League, the English club faces heavy sanctions, which could range from a ban on recruitment to a withdrawal of points, or even relegation to the Championship. A situation closely followed by the major European clubs, who could take advantage of this uncertainty to try to recover certain players from the Mancunian squad.
This is particularly the case for Real Madrid. According to information from
Filesthe Madrid management is closely monitoring the development of the file. Florentino PĂ©rez would see in the possible sanctions imposed on Manchester City an opportunity to carry out a good operation on the transfer market. The targeted player would be Rayan Cherki.
If Real Madrid does not seem to make Erling Haaland a priority, given the solutions already available in attack, with Kylian Mbappé and Endrick in particular, the profile of the French international would be particularly appreciated. His creativity and technical quality could bring a new dimension to the Madrid game.
Real Madrid ready to bet big on Cherki?
This is not the first time that the name of the former Lyonnais is associated with Casa Blanca. Cherki had already been mentioned on the Madrid side at the time when Zinédine Zidane was still on the bench of the Spanish club. Several years later, Real could therefore return to the charge to try to secure his services.
However, the operation promises to be particularly expensive. According to Transfermarkt estimates, a transfer from Cherki by 2027 or 2028 could reach at least 110 million euros. The French attacking midfielder would thus be considered as an alternative to Michael Olise, whom Real Madrid would like to attract during the next summer transfer window.
