Man City signs France playmaker Cherki to usher in start of post-De Bruyne era
Associated Press Manchester City kickstarted the post-Kevin De Bruyne era by signing maverick France playmaker Rayan Cherki from Lyon for 36 million euros ($41 million) on Tuesday, in time to play in the Club World Cup. The 21-year-old Cherki, regarded as one of the most exciting young talents in French soccer, scored a brilliant volley and starred as a substitute on his international debut for France against Spain in the Nations League semifinals last week. A product of Lyon's renowned academy like Karim Benzema, Cherki has been on the radar of Europe's biggest clubs for a while. He came close to signing for Paris Saint-Germain in the last offseason but the move fell through. Now he is headed for City and is set to fill the role vacated by De Bruyne, the team's long-time star who has been released after 10 years' service. With Netherlands midfielder Tijjani Reijnders also reported by British media to be joining City, the club appears to be re-energizing a midfield that was filled last season with players in their 30s like Ilkay Gundogan, Mateo Kovacic and Bernardo Silva. Kovacic has undergone Achilles surgery and is unavailable for the new-look, 32-team Club World Cup, which starts on Saturday. City in the same group as Juventus, Al Ain and Wydad Casablanca and its first match is on June 18. Cherki's background Cherki, the youngest-ever goal scorer for Lyon in a competitive match, quickly impressed in youth competitions. He made his Ligue 1 debut at just 16 years old in October 2019 and scored his first senior goal a few weeks later in a French Cup match. The attacking midfielder scored eight goals and provided 11 assists — the most in Ligue 1 — this season and can play either on the wing or as a playmaker. According to L'Equipe newspaper, Lyon will retain 15% of the rights to any capital gain from a future transfer and can expect a further 2 million euros ($2.3 million) in bonuses between now and 2030. The transfer of Cherki comes a day after Algeria left back Rayan Ait-Nouri joined City from Wolverhampton for $42 million. Bettinelli signs as backup Also Tuesday, City signed Marcus Bettinelli from Chelsea as a backup goalkeeper. City made the move after announcing the departure of long-term No. 3 goalie Scott Carson on Monday with his contract due to expire. Bettinelli has joined on a one-year deal and in time to be involved in the Club World Cup in the United States starting on Saturday. 'His experience and mentality will hopefully complement our other senior goalkeepers while ensuring he's always ready to perform when called upon himself," City director of football Hugo Viana said. ___ AP soccer:

Bullish Conrad backs South Africa to stun Australia
South Africa's coach Shukri Conrad speaks during a press conference at Lord's cricket ground in London, on June 9, 2025, ahead of the ICC World Test Championship cricket final match between Australia and South Africa. (Photo by HENRY NICHOLLS / AFP) / RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE (Photo by HENRY NICHOLLS/AFP via Getty Images) By Charlie Bennett at Lord's South Africa might be the underdogs in the ICC World Test Championship Final 2025 but head coach Shukri Conrad is quietly confident of an upset. The Proteas face defending champions and the world number ones Australia at Lord's this week, chasing a first ICC men's global trophy since 1998. Advertisement The size of the task ahead of them is significant. Australia have retained the Ashes and beaten India in a thrilling five-match series on the road to Lord's, a ground at which they have traditionally excelled. Batters Steve Smith, Travis Head and Usman Khawaja are all ranked inside the world's top 10, while bowlers Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Nathan Lyon are numbers three, four and five respectively. However, Conrad believes his team have what it takes to stop the Australian juggernaut and spring a surprise. 'We are here, that is all that matters,' Conrad said. 'It doesn't get bigger than playing Australia, and we are quietly confident going into this game that we can pull one over on them. Advertisement 'If there are any weaknesses amongst them, we will be able to exploit it.' His confidence is well-founded. South Africa have won seven Tests in a row to reach this point and have a bowling attack that is the envy of the world. Last year, Kagiso Rabada became the fastest quick bowler to take 300 Test wickets in terms of deliveries bowled – his 11,817 balls coming in 785 fewer than Pakistan great Waqar Younis. He leads an attack that also features the lively Marco Jansen, speedy Wiaan Mulder and crafty spinner Keshav Maharaj. It is an attack more than capable of taking 20 wickets, but you don't win seven Test matches in a row without some runs being scored – and that is where South Africa face questions. Advertisement Of the top seven that played their last Test against Pakistan, only Ryan Rickelton has a Test average above 40. Yet Conrad has full confidence they can stand up and deliver. 'The inexperience of the batters is apparent in terms of Tests played, and rankings,' he said. 'It is normal to chat about bowlers when you have KG Rabada, who is one of the best in the world, and Keshav Maharaj. 'But there is a confidence in the batters, while they might not have the superstar names among them, they are very confident. 'Our strength is the collective, we will go out and fight for every run and every wicket. 'You look at a guy like Tristan Stubbs, he doesn't bowl but look at the way he celebrates when we take a wicket. As we go on, we want more names on honours boards around the world.' Advertisement Whenever South Africa play in an ICC final, it is not long for their record in finals to crop up. They have not won an ICC event since the first Champions Trophy in 1998, and lost last summer's ICC Men's T20 World Cup Final. 'Our ICC finals record doesn't weigh heavy on us, it is unfair to burden our players with that,' Conrad added. 'We don't want to wish this experience away, whatever tags come along, we don't wear that. 'It is just another occasion to set the record straight. You can only win it if you play finals, and the more you play, the better your chances. 'We always take a 'let's embrace' it approach. We will be enjoying the majority of the support, and it is a huge day. Advertisement 'We can't wish it away, these are some of the conversations we had last night. Rathet than wish it away, we talked through it. There will be nerves but it is a great occasion, I'd rather be part of it than not.' © ICC Business Corporation FZ LLC 2025
