Manchester Football Club has completed a long-term deal signed from Rayan Cherki of Lyon.
Manchester City completed the signing of the 21-year-old attacking midfielder on its official website on Tuesday, June 10, 2025. Rayan Cherki signed a five-year contract that will keep him at Etihad Stadium until the summer of 2030.
The French international expressed delight at joining Manchester City ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup. He made his debut in France against Spain in their National League semi-finals and won goals and assists as Les Bleus beat 5-1 but beat 5-4.
He said
“To be honest, it was a dream for me to join a club like Manchester City and have the opportunity to take the next step in my career, which is very, very special.
“I have worked hard for the sport all my life. I can’t wait to develop further in Manchester with his back room staff. Everyone knows they have been successful for years over the years. The responsibility to help the team continue to win is something I want to embrace. I just want to leave Lyon and I can only believe in the city that everything I can help my game, it’s my success, I can help my game, ”””
The defender is signing for the third time in two days, and coach Guardiola brought back spare goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli from Chelsea earlier Monday.
Cherki made her debut for 16-year-old Lyon in October 2019, scoring 29 goals and 45 assists in 185 games.
