Why City snubbed Gibbs-White and bought Cherki instead

The reasons for Manchester City opting to sign Rayan Cherki over Morgan Gibbs-White have been revealed.

According to the Daily Mail, Forest were demanding at least £70m to part with Gibbs-White. Unlike cash-strapped Lyon, Forest were under no financial pressure to sell their star man after a stellar Premier League season in which they finished seventh and qualified for the Europa Conference League. And that is believed to have put off City, who were able to sign Cherki for around half the price of the England international. Cherki is four years younger than Gibbs-White but has a similar amount of experience, with close to 200 senior appearances compared to the latter's 250 appearances. The saving they made from recruiting the Frenchman gave them the opportunity to cover the bulk of the initial £46m transfer fee to bring in Tijjani Reijnders from AC Milan.

However, L'Equipe report negotiations have resumed and look to be heading towards a positive conclusion for the Champions League winners.
