Newcastle United are interested in signing Corentin Tolisso, a 31-year-old French midfielder from Lyon, at the end of the season for a fee of approximately €30 million. Tolisso, who is the Lyon captain and has scored 11 goals across all competitions, is also attracting interest from other Premier League clubs. A report from Sports Boom states that Aston Villa have been closely tracking his progress. Tottenham Hotspur are also monitoring the situation, but a potential absence of European football could complicate a move. Tolisso has 28 caps and 2 goals for France. He joined his current club in July 2022, and his contract runs until June 2027. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value at €12.00m. In July 2025, reports suggested that Olympique Lyonnais might consider offers between €25 million and €30 million.
