Manchester City completes its third signing this summer, Cherky joins

Premier League giants Manchester City officially announced the signing of Lyon midfielder New Cherki on June 10, which is the team's third signing in the 2025 summer transfer window. It is reported that the transfer fee will be 34 million pounds until the summer of 2030.

In the past season, the 21-year-old French star represented Lyon 44 times in various competitions, contributing 12 goals and 20 assists, showing strong creativity and offensive efficiency.

In addition, Cherki recently made his debut with the French national team. In the European League semi-final match against Spain, he quickly scored after making a substitute. Although France finally lost 4-5, Cherki's performance was still impressive.

Talking about the reasons for joining Manchester City, Cherki said: "This is my dream forever. It is a very special thing to be able to join a great club like Manchester City and develop my career here. The reason I left Lyon is because I believe in this project, and everything about Manchester City convinced me that I can keep improving here and help the team succeed in the future."

As Manchester City completed the signing ahead of schedule, Cherki will have the opportunity to play with the team in the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup. The Blue Moon will usher in its first match on June 18, with its opponent being the Vidard AC team from Morocco.

Cherki also became the third player introduced by Manchester City this summer. The team had signed Wolves left-back Art Nuri and Chelsea goalkeeper Bettinelli. All three new players will join the team to participate in the Club World Cup.

In addition, it was revealed that Manchester City has also reached an agreement to sign AC Milan midfielder and Dutch international Reindes, with the transfer fee being close to 70 million pounds. The deal is expected to be officially completed after Reindez finishes his national team mission.
