Voice note to the president, a Dortmund snub and a furious PSG — why Cherki’s path back to Paris is blocked

Rayan Cherki scored a superb goal as Manchester City beat Liverpool 3-0 on Sunday, but the prospect of the French playmaker moving to Paris Saint-Germain — despite persistent speculation — is reportedly far from straightforward. According to L’Equipe , the reason lies in a broken agreement from 2024 that the Paris club has still not forgiven. Cherki has been linked with a move away from City in the event that the club’s appeal against their 114-charge guilty verdict fails and they face a significant points deduction.
