  • He has made 270 appearances with 42 goals and 30 assists for Lyon, is their highest earner on an €8.7 million salary, and his contract runs through June 2027.
  • While Lyon want to retain Tolisso, a transfer could offer financial relief and present him a new sporting challenge at a prestigious club like Manchester United.
