Rayan Cherki is in a rush to become a Manchester City player, only wants to join Manchester City, and wants to play at the FIFA Club World Cup. The player is pushing a lot. (Fabrizio Romano)

Fabrizio Romano on Rayan Cherki: “My expectation is that over the weekend this is going to get sorted and then the player, early next week, will do his medical and will travel with the Man City squad for the FIFA Club World Cup – that’s the mission for the boy… Manchester City are in a rush on the player too…” (DAZN Football)

Tijjani Reijnders will fly to Manchester on Sunday morning to complete a Manchester City medical and finalise his transfer, before returning to the Netherlands for their FIFA World Cup Qualifier vs Malta on Tuesday night, manager Ronald Koeman has confirmed. (Voetbal International)

Pep Guardiola and the Manchester City board still love Jack Grealish, as much for his attitude and popularity in the squad, as his quality. But there is a consensus this is the right time to move on, and Grealish agrees, focussing on his future and finding a new club. (Alex Brotherton, BBC Sport)

Jack Grealish is open to all options, wanting a clean break and permanent new home rather than a loan – which Manchester City would sanction, although prefer to sell. City accept they will get nowhere near £100 million, and Grealish would be open to staying in the Premier League, wanting to keep playing at the highest level possible, ideally in the Champions League. Grealish also would not rule out Europe, while the last resort would be Saudi Arabia. (Alex Brotherton, BBC Sport)

Ronaldo Koeman says he tipped off Pep Guardiola to sign Tijjani Reijnders for Manchester City. Koeman: “They called me a few months ago. I’ve mentioned more [players to sign], but it seems to be limited to one *winks*. Tijjani has developed very well.” (Voetbal International)
