Two-year deal secures Lyon captain Corentin Tolisso until 2029

A two-season contract extension will keep 31‑year‑old Corentin Tolisso at Olympique Lyonnais until 2029, originally bound to the club through 2027, is set to add another two years after his return from Bayern Munich in 2022. Tolisso rejoined Olympique Lyonnais in the summer of 2022 after five seasons with Bayern Munich. Since his return, he has gradually regained top form and optimal fitness, allowing him to feature consistently. The French midfielder has become a long‑standing figure at the club, now exceeding 300 appearances for Lyon. His durability has been a key factor in the side’s midfield stability.
