Corentin Tolisso to extend Lyon contract with salary reduction

Lyon captain Corentin Tolisso has reached an agreement to extend his contract by two years. The deal is expected to be finalized early next week.

The 31-year-old midfielder, previously under contract until 2027, has accepted a pay cut to continue his career at his formative club. This move is significant for the club, as Tolisso held one of the highest salaries in the squad, and Lyon is currently working to manage its wage bill under DNCG regulations.

For the player, staying at the club remains a priority as he dreams of winning a trophy with the team he loves. Tolisso performed at a high level during the 2025/2026 campaign, contributing 11 goals and 4 assists in 30 Ligue 1 appearances.
