'Everybody knows' - Rayan Cherki appears to confirm impending Manchester City move after stunning cameo in France's dramatic 5-4 Nations League loss to Spain

<p>A day after reportedly <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/lyon-s-rayan-cherki-agrees-personal-terms-with-man-city-pep-guardiola-kevin-de-bruyne-successor/blt79922cb1e8d8d4e3" target="_blank">agreeing personal terms with City</a>, the Lyon star has suggested a move to the Etihad is drawing closer. The 21-year-old said this shortly after <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/france-player-ratings-vs-spain-nations-league-semi-final-ibrahima-konate-clement-lenglet-lamine-yamal-nico-williams/blt5bce8560e2f9f505" target="_blank">France's 5-4 Nations League semi-final loss to Spain</a>, where he came off the bench and scored a goal and bagged an assist on Thursday.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>He told Telefoot, via <a href="https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1930739864258982150" target="_blank">Fabrizio Romano</a>: "Yes… it’s getting done. But you already know my answer, everybody knows. But there's still a game to play. Now we have to enjoy and give everything, but after it will be done."</p>

WHAT CHERKI SAID

<p>Cherki is said to have a £25 million ($34m) release clause in his Lyon contract, which expires in 2026. And going by his performances this season, where he scored 12 goals and added 20 assists, he could be a bargain buy for Pep Guardiola's side.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>It may just be a matter of time before Cherki, who is predominantly a right winger but has also played as an attacking midfielder on multiple occasions this season, completes his move to City ahead of the 2025/26 campaign. Before then, he could feature for France against Germany in the Nations League on Sunday.</p>
