According to sources, Arsenal would be interested in Rayan Cherki if Manchester City are compelled to sell the player after a guilty verdict for breaches of financial regulations. Arsenal have admired the 23-year-old Frenchman's technical ability and vision for a long time and would likely renew their interest in the event of a forced sale. Sources indicate that Liverpool would also be interested, and that they had previously met with the player before he joined City from Lyon in 2025. Sources state that several large clubs across Europe would be interested. Paris Saint-Germain have had a long-standing interest and are considered a probable destination, while Real Madrid and Barcelona have also monitored his development recently. Additionally, some reports have linked Bayern Munich to the midfielder. He is contracted at City until 2030. The French international has 16 caps and 2 goals for his country. His current market value, according to Transfermarkt, is €90.00m.
