Manchester United and Chelsea are reportedly looking to sign Rayan Cherki from Lyon in the summer transfer window.
Rayan Cherki has been outstanding this season, and he produced a sensational performance against Manchester United in the UEFA Europa League last week. According to Fichajes, the player will cost around £20 million, with Chelsea and Manchester United willing to submit an offer for him.
The 21-year-old has 28 goal contributions this season, and he could transform Manchester United in the final third. Players like Antony, Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford could leave the club in the summer. Manchester United need to replace them adequately, and Cherki could prove to be the ideal acquisition.
The Frenchman can play in the wide areas as well as a no. 10. He will add goals and creativity to the side. Similarly, Chelsea need to bring in attacking reinforcements as well. It is still unclear whether they want to sign Jadon Sancho permanently in the summer. Cherki could be a quality acquisition for them.
Cherki would improve both clubs
The 21-year-old has shown his quality in France, and he has the technical attributes to do well for Manchester United and Chelsea as well. They are among the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to join them can be attractive for any player.
It will be interesting to see if the Red Devils or the Blues can get the deal across the line in the coming weeks. The 21-year-old is a phenomenal talent with a bright future, and the £20 million investment could look like a bargain in future.
Manchester United and Chelsea have not been at their best in recent seasons, and they will be desperate to establish themselves as Champions League regulars once again. They need better players at their disposal, and the 21-year-old Frenchman will certainly help them improve going forward.
Meanwhile, the player will be hoping to win major trophies in the coming seasons as well and he needs to join a bigger club. Manchester United and Chelsea might be able to help him fulfill his ambitions in future. Meanwhile, other European bigwigs are also keen on signing the highly-rated Frenchman.
