For Emmanuel Petit, Rayan Cherki (OL, 21 years old) is the perfect player to revive Pep Guardiola's Manchester City, which has been running out of fuel for several weeks.
Under contract until June 2026 but with a gentleman's approval to be transferred for a reasonable amount, Rayan Cherki has decided to finish the season with OL before considering his big departure. Completely revived since his extension, the 21-year-old attacking midfielder has been playing big matches and has impressed since the start of the 2024-25 season.
Emmanuel Petit sees him as the perfect reinforcement for the Citizens
If he only had secondary clubs (Fulham) willing to take a chance this summer, Rayan Cherki has since turned the opinion of the big clubs around and Liverpool would now be very keen to get him back. For Emmanuel Petit, another Premier League giant would be well inspired to launch into the Cherki file: Manchester City.
“If I’m City and Guardiola, I’ll take it. I tell myself that compared to City's difficulties at the moment in midfield, in creativity, constantly carrying danger… He's a boy who can bring back energy, hope and a game that Guardiola likes a lot, in ball possession and technicality,” analyzed the 1998 World Champion in the show “Rothen s’ignée” this Thursday on RMC Sport.
