Rayan Cherki claims he chose to sign for Manchester City as he believes he can fulfil his dream of winning the Ballon d’Or at the club.The 21-year-old joined the Cityzens recently from Olympique Lyon, and has been training with his new teammates ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup.”When you see Rodri win the Ballon d’Or, it is clear (that) with Manchester City, it is possible,” Cherki said at the club’s training base in Miami, Florida.”I’m here for this.”City goes budget – Wirtz’s cheaper clone arrivesThe French international thinks that there will be no problems with accommodating Pep Guardiola’s coaching style and his specific demands for creative midfielders. Cherki does not hold any fears that this will happen to him.”Pep said to me when you have the ball you are free. It is very good for me as it is my first quality. He said to me, ‘I love number 10, but now you play in all the positions of the pitch.’ It is not complicated because I just want to play.”I spoke with Pep and he wanted me. It was very, very clear because the system, the club, the city is very good and I want to win at Manchester City. And he wants to win it all.”Manchester City has found a replacement for WirtzCherki arrives at City to replace Kevin de Bruyne, who left for Napoli on a free transfer.”I’m not Kevin de Bruyne, he is a legend,” Cherki said, before adding:”I am here to help the team and to write my own history. In the team we have the best player in the world and for playing I will help the team. For this I work and wait my return. When I play I will help my team and want to win.”I’m ready for this because I want to win all of the competitions and I want to play all (of them). We have a lot of games but that is football and it is very good to play the first FIFA club world cup in the history and I want (to make) impressions,” concluded he.##NAJAVA_MECA_8977558##FIFA CLUB WORLD CUP 2025Matchday 1SundayAl Ahly Cairo – Inter Miami 0-0Bayern Munich – Auckland IN PROGRESS22:00: (1.90) PSG (3.85) Atletico Madrid (4.10)Monday00:55: (2.65) Palmeiras (3.30) Porto (2.70)05:00: (1.95) Botafogo (3.45) Seattle (4.00)***odds are subject to change***
