Team News: Manchester United contacts Lyon midfielder Toliso, players are open to transfers
Team News reported that Manchester United intends to introduce Lyon midfielder Toliso, but the player himself is not in a hurry to leave the team.
Toliso, now 30, has just had one of his best-performing seasons in his career, and although his contract with Lyon is still two years away, he is not necessarily planning to leave. However, due to the current poor economic conditions of the Lyon Club, Tolisso's good condition has aroused external interest.
Recently, Manchester United has had preliminary contact with Toliso's team to explore the possibility of transfers. Manchester United will miss European tournaments next season, but they have expressed a strong interest in the 2018 World Cup champion. Tolisso is open to joining such a well-known club, and he has rejected some offers from Turkey before.
Although Tolisso is the new captain of Lyon and the club hopes to build around him, the sale of Tolisso can relieve the financial pressure on the team and reduce the wage burden because he is one of the highest-paid players on the team. Saudi Arabia and Atletico Madrid may also be his potential destinations.
