According to L'écipe, MU is planning to recruit midfielder Corentin Tolisso – who used to wear Bayern and is currently on the payroll of Lyon.
The top French newspaper emphasized that the Red Devils contacted Tolisso's representative directly to discuss the ability to transfer this summer.
Tolisso has just experienced the most impressive season since returning to Lyon, playing outstanding in a decline. He still contracts with the club until 2027, but Lyon's difficult financial situation may force them to sell people.
The reason MU is interested in Tolisso because coach Ruben Amorim highly appreciates the experience and qualities of the 30 -year -old star, seeing him as an ideal piece for the plan to rebuild midfield. With Lyon need to reduce salary fund, selling Tolisso can benefit both sides.
However, this does not mean that MU will buy Tolisso easily. L'équipe said Atletico is also closely monitoring the situation of the French midfielder. It is expected that MU will send an official transfer offer in the next few days.
Lyon is expected to request a significant fee, but they understand that it is difficult to keep Tolisso if the attention from big clubs continues to increase. Transfermarkt currently values Tolisso at 12 million euros – a fairly soft price.
