Man Utd Want to Sign ‘One of the Most Skilful Players on Earth’

Manchester United are showing strong interest in a summer move for Lyon attacker Rayan Cherki, according to journalist Graeme Bailey . The Red Devils are believed to be among several Premier League clubs keen on the France U21 international, who reportedly has an agreement to leave Lyon at the end of the season for less than £25m . Cherki has been linked with a Ligue 1 exit for the past two transfer windows – he emerged as a target for Borussia Dortmund in January, while Premier League clubs pursued him last summer .

The 21-year-old signed a new contract with Lyon last September, but it only runs until the end of next season, making a summer departure a real possibility.

Both Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain are also said to have reignited their interest in Cherki amid his impressive season, alongside several Premier League clubs, including Arsenal and Liverpool.



Cherki, praised as ‘one of the most skilful players on Earth’ , has been a key player for Lyon this season, scoring eight goals and providing 18 assists in 35 appearances across all competitions. He has been in outstanding form recently, registering nine goal contributions in his last eight Ligue 1 matches, helping Lyon secure five wins during that run.
