In the Rayan Cherki transfer deal to Manchester City, Olympique Lyonnais is poised to receive a player on a one-year loan. Among the potential candidates for this loan is 22-year-old James McAtee, whom Lyon is considering. The agreement also includes Manchester City paying 40.5 million euros to Lyon, with the French club retaining 15% of the future transfer's profit rights. Additionally, Lyon could earn up to 2 million euros in bonuses by 2030. The club aims to bolster their offensive lineup through this loan arrangement, with McAtee being viewed as a promising option alongside Claudio Echeverri. This move aligns with Lyon's broader strategy to strengthen their squad in the wake of Cherki's major transfer.
