Bayern rule out Rayan Cherki and change plans to bolster attack | OneFootball

Bayern Munich do not have Rayan Cherki among their targets to strengthen the attack. Despite rumors linking the Manchester City player with the German side, the Bavarian club are not considering making an offer for the Frenchman.

According to information from Christian Falk, who is close to Bayern’s day-to-day affairs, Cherki was never part of the Bundesliga champions’ shortlist, so reports of a possible bid do not match the club’s current plans.

Cherki is not in Bayern’s plans

The 23-year-old attacking midfielder arrived at Manchester City as one of the English club’s attacking prospects, but his name began to be linked with different European clubs.

However, Bayern are said to have ruled out that possibility from the start and are not expected to open negotiations for the player.

The decision is also related to the specific needs the team could have in the upcoming transfer windows.

Bayern could look for a winger

Although Cherki is not being considered, Bayern could still turn to the market in search of an attacking player.

The priority could arise if Serge Gnabry leaves the club or if uncertainty increases around Michael Olise, who is currently under contract with the Bavarian side until the summer of 2029.

In that scenario, the profile they would mainly be looking for would be a winger, rather than an attacking midfielder like Cherki.

Olise sets the direction of the market

Olise’s situation will be one of the factors that could determine Bayern’s moves.

The Frenchman has become an important part of the project, but any change in his contractual or sporting situation could force the club to look for a replacement.

For now, Rayan Cherki remains outside Bayern’s plans, while the club keep other alternatives open to strengthen the flanks if the squad’s circumstances force them to enter the market.
