Corentin Tolisso (born 3 August 1994) is a French professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder for German club Bayern Munich and the France national team.
A graduate of the Lyon academy, he made his professional debut for the club in 2013 and played over 100 league matches before joining Bayern Munich in the summer of 2017.
Tolisso also represented France at various youth levels before making his senior debut in 2017.
On 10 August 2013, manager Rémi Garde handed Tolisso his debut for Lyon, bringing him on as 92nd minute substitute in a 4–0 Ligue 1 home win over Nice. He made his European club competition debut on 24 October 2013, featuring in a 1–0 win over HNK Rijeka in the group stage of the 2013–14 UEFA Europa League. A week later, Tolisso signed his first professional contract with the club, penning a deal until 2017. On 9 March 2014, he scored his first senior career goal with an injury time (in the 94th minute) winner to give Lyon a 2–1 Ligue 1 away win over Bordeaux. Tolisso was used as a utility player for the majority of the season, operating at right back in place of Mouhamadou Dabo and later in central midfield following injuries to Yoann Gourcuff and Gueïda Fofana.
The continued absence of Fofana and subsequent injury to Clément Grenier afforded Tolisso the opportunity to enjoy more first team action with Lyon in the following season. During the 2014–15 campaign he featured in every Ligue 1 match for the side, netting 7 goals. At the end of the season Tolisso and teammates Nabil Fekir and Anthony Lopes were rewarded with improved contracts, penning new deals with the club until 2020. He continued his fine form into the 2015–16 Ligue 1 season where he netted 5 goals and set up 6 assists as Lyon ended the Ligue 1 campaign as runners-up to Paris Saint-Germain.
