Olympique Lyon is going to strengthen itself with Corentin Tolisso, report that L’Equipe and RMC Sports† The 27-year-old midfielder is transfer-free after his contract with Bayern Munich expired and reports to the French media on Thursday for his medical examination in Lyon. L’Equipe knows that Tolisso will sign a contract until 2017 with the club where Peter Bosz works as a trainer.

With the arrival of Tolisso, a well-known name returns to the old nest, after Alexandre Lacazette previously made the transfer-free transfer to his former club. Both left the club in the summer of 2017: Lacazette was brought to Arsenal for 53 million euros, while Bayern Munich paid no less than 41.5 million euros for Tolisso. The French duo were teammates of Memphis Depay for six months, who made the crossing from Manchester United to Manchester United in January 2017. les gones†

Tolisso is Bayern’s fourth most expensive signing ever, but never became an undisputed base force in the German superpower. In five seasons, he made fewer appearances in total than during his four seasons with Lyon: 117 to 160. He scored 21 goals and provided 15 assists in Germany and was used in midfield in both defensive and attacking roles. Just before his departure from Lyon, Tolisso made his debut as a French international, for which he played 28 international matches in recent years and scored twice.

For Bosz, the two old acquaintances are a stroke of luck. His club looked like for a long time pole position to sign Tyrell Malacia from Feyenoord. On Tuesday, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano announced that the Manchester United of compatriot Erik ten Hag currently has the best papers for the 22-year-old left back. The French top team of yesteryear hopes to appropriately strengthen the team under new owner John Textor, become a candidate for the national title again and join the European elite.
