Spanish media Marca digs out Cherki's previous interview, and he once said that he hopes to play for Real Madrid.
Cherki: "The club in my dream is Real Madrid, and I hope that one day we can play for the same team."
This is not the first time that Cherki expressed his yearning for Real Madrid. In many interviews, he did not hide his admiration for this club and its legendary stars: "I hope to be a player like Zidane." His words show that his idol is not only the current stars, but also the legendary figures who once wrote a brilliant history for Real Madrid.
In the last Ligue 1 game for Lyon, Cherki bid farewell to the team with tears. All signs indicate that he is about to transfer, and the team that is most likely to sign him is Manchester City coached by Guardiola.
Although the Ligue 1 banned the termination clause, according to French media reports, Cherki reached an agreement with Lyon to allow him to leave the team for 22 million euros, which is undoubtedly a very cost-effective deal.
