Manchester City have signed Rayan Cherki, but I'm not sure if Cherki will be able to play there. Guardiola doesn't change his starting 11 much and he hardly makes substitutions, unlike other managers. Cherki was playing well in Lyon and had a habit of playing regularly. It's not certain that he will be in the Manchester City squad. And if he doesn't get enough playing time, his skills weaken. Many players, despite having great potential, made the wrong transfers to the biggest clubs and regressed because they couldn't find playing time there. I hope this will not be the case with Cherki.
Manchester City are currently trying to improve on some of the poor form of last season so they will definitely be making some purchases in order to find suitable options for Pep's schemes next season.
But indeed for now it cannot be denied that in the end when we talk about a club as big as Mancehster City then the competition is clearly very big too so this makes the player's situation must really match expectations because if it is not in line with expectations then there will certainly be several things that can happen including losing a place in the line up and being more on the bench or another option that is loaned out.
This is a common thing for a big club because the bigger the club, the greater the competition in it so that indeed if a player is interested by a big club then they must try to perform as well as possible according to expectations.
