While his future was written far from Lyon, rumors were going well on the destination of Rayan Cherki for several weeks. And finally, it is Pep Guardiola's Manchester City that will shoot the jackpot. “To convince me, I have to talk to me football. Football, and still football. Simply. I'm ready for any system. I work every day, physically and mentally, to be ready. I especially try to choose the best option for me, to flourish as a man and footballer ”explained Cherki during the gathering of the Blues. And with Pep Guardiola, he found a respondent to speak football.
The team explains that Pep Guardiola convinced Cherki by promising him an axial creator role in the game, but that he would sometimes be positioned in the right corridor of Manchester City's attack, in a role similar to that of Riyad Mahrez or Bernardo Silva in recent years. A role that corresponds well to the young Lyonnais, which could well develop his potential at a dazzling speed under the orders of the Spanish tactician.
