Rayan Cherki is Manchester City's gold-tier Creator, arriving at the Etihad as a two-time trophy winner from his formative years in France. Now established in the squad at 23, he represents the next phase of the club's midfield evolution, building a body of work defined by technical elegance and vision.

With 18 appearances and nearly 1,000 minutes on the pitch, Cherki has proven his worth as a primary playmaker. He has already secured his status as an Architect and Conductor, averaging an elite 3.07 key passes per 90 minutes.

The market reflects his growing influence, with his valuation rising to €45M. As the Stakes of the title race increase, Cherki’s ability to dictate tempo suggests his trajectory remains firmly upward.
