Chelsea has reactivated its pursuit of Rayan Cherki, the 23-year-old attacking midfielder from Manchester City, in an attempt to sign him next year. Chelsea's next signing target aims to fulfill Xabi Alonso's wish.

As confirmed by sources close to the club on October 5, 2026, the board at Stamford Bridge is looking to meet coach Xabi Alonso's tactical request by pairing the French international with Cole Palmer, Morgan Rogers, and João Pedro in the attacking line, subject to potential financial sanctions in Manchester forcing the sale of a player valued at €90.00 million on Transfermarkt.

The Background of the Negotiation and Xabi Alonso's Plans for the Midfield

The London team tried to secure the services of the 23-year-old player before he moved to Manchester City in June 2025 from Olympique Lyonnais for €36.5 million. The deal fell through as the French board demanded the inclusion of Andrey Santos in the agreement, but the current scenario at Stamford Bridge has reignited their interest.

Xabi Alonso plans to use the midfielder in a deeper playmaking role, a position where he has been tested by Zinedine Zidane in the French national team, amassing 16 caps and 2 goals.

Manchester's Financial Sanction and the European Competition from Real Madrid, PSG, and Liverpool

The player is under contract with the Manchester club until June 2030, but a financial penalty for breaching regulations would compel the British board to offload assets to balance the books. Alongside Chelsea's proposal, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, and Liverpool are monitoring the player's contractual situation to make offers when the opportunity arises.

Chelsea's leadership believes that the Frenchman's versatility to play as a central midfielder or an attacking midfielder would enhance ball circulation against deep-lying defenses in the Premier League.

Budget Viability to Finance the Transfer at Stamford Bridge

The Chelsea board is assessing the wage structure necessary to undertake a transfer that would approach the official valuation of €90.00 million. The proceeds from the sale of secondary assets in recent transfer windows ensure the liquidity to submit a formal offer without breaching Financial Fair Play regulations.

The London executives are confident that the sporting project led by Xabi Alonso will sway the player's decision in favor of Chelsea over other European alternatives. Chelsea's analysts will monitor disciplinary actions against Manchester City throughout November and December 2026.

If Manchester City confirms its willingness to sell the French midfielder, Chelsea will engage directly with his representatives early next year to secure his signing before other suitors.
