Manchester City have submitted a bid worth €22.5m for Rayan Cherki (21), according to L’Équipe. That fee is the same as the unofficial release clause in the France international’s contract.

PSG are expected to demand €40 million (£33.7 million, $45.6 million) to part ways with the 21-year-old, well aware that such a sale would still prove a huge discount on Cherki

Rayan Cherki looks set to leave Lyon this summer, and has dropped another hint over his future amid links with both Liverpool and Manchester City
