Bayern Munich ‘close to signing’ former Juve and Chelsea target

14 giu 2017

Bayern Munich are close to signing Corentin Tolisso, a former Juventus and Chelsea target. The Old Lady traded the player’s signing this past January but Lyon failed to agree the player’s transfer fee claiming that they would have not accepted less than € 40 million.

Chelsea had also been linked with a summer move for the France International although the Blues have never been reported to have opened concrete negotiations with the Ligue 1 giants.

According to reports in France, the player has agreed personal terms with the Bundesliga giants and Lyon have also agreed the player’s transfer fee.
Tolisso is about to join Bayern Munich for € 37 million. The 23-year-old is expected to land in Germany in the next few hours.

Bayern Munich need some midfield reinforcement given that former Liverpool and Spain star Xabi Alonso bid his farwell to football at the end of the 2016/17 campaign.
