Rayan Cherki

Recent reports from September 2026 consistently value the player at around €90 million, with interest noted from Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and PSG. In April 2026, his market value was reported to be €65 million. His transfer from Olympique Lyonnais to Manchester City in June 2025 was completed for a fee listed as €36.5 million, though reports at the time cited various figures ranging from €35 million to €42.5 million including bonuses. Prior to that move, in early-to-mid 2025, numerous reports mentioned a disputed release clause or gentleman's agreement at Lyon valued between €22.5 million and £25 million (approx. €29.5 million), with Lyon reportedly seeking closer to €40 million.

Our valuation is driven by consistent reports from September 2026 valuing Rayan Cherki at approximately €90 million amid interest from top European clubs. This figure represents a significant appreciation from his transfer to Manchester City in June 2025. His long-term contract until 2030 and strong start to his City career place the club in a powerful negotiating position, suggesting any potential sale would require an extraordinary offer, justifying a range that peaks around €100 million.
