Lyon’s Rayan Cherki has got eyes from Man Utd as they look to prepare for a big summer window.
Man Utd Targeting Rayan Cherki as Summer Rebuild Starts
Manchester United are exploring a transfer to Lyon’s star in Rayan Cherki, as per reports. The Red Devils are preparing to pay the £20million transfer fee sought by the French club.
The 21-year-old attacking midfielder is in his best form in Ligue 1 in this campaign. He has managed to contribute in 29 goal involvements in 38 games.
The France international fits the bill of flair, dribbling and, vision. His abilities has attracted attention from some of the biggest clubs across Europe. However, it is United who are at the front in line for his signature.
United are suffering from their worst ever Premier league points total. They are desperate to freshen up the squad. Manager Ruben Amorim would consider someone like the Frenchman in the summer. The kind of creative genius that United have sorely missed this term.
He has been giving some standout performances in France. He could potentially fit nicely into Amorim’s tactical plans going forward.
Cherki Could Shape United’s European Hopes
Man Utd scouts have been closely monitoring Cherki’s progress. And the Thursday’s Europa League second-leg clash between United and Lyon could be seen as a timely audition.
If Rayan performs well, it might just speed up the talks between the two clubs. While Lyon may look to play hardball. United’s interest to pay the £20m fee puts them in a strong position.
The youngster is one of the best young talents in Europe. And a move to Old Trafford could be a career changing chapter he needs. The Red Devils must act fast. Especially with other European giants sniffing around.
But the Premier League side is facing struggles and a clear need for fresh talent. Cherki looks like a smart and affordable option. He brings not just stats, but style. That is something the Theatre of Dreams has been missing lately.
