Bayern Munich’s Corentin Tolisso has long been a player admired for his technical qualities in midfield.
He boasts a stunning trophy cabinet that includes many of the game’s biggest prizes, yet there is the very real prospect he will be allowed to depart by the Allianz Arena side next summer.
The prospect of signing such a talented and versatile player on a free transfer is one that has piqued the interest of many clubs around Europe, with Tottenham, Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus just three who have been mentioned.

What position does Corentin Tolisso play?
Corentin Tolisso has typically played as a defensive midfielder for Bayern Munich, where he has the attributes of a deep-lying playmaker.
However, throughout his career one of his greatest strengths has been his versatility. He has played in every role down the right, as an attacking midfielder, a second striker and even as a left-back on occasion.
How good is Corentin Tolisso?
Corentin Tolisso is both a World Cup winner and a Champions League winner, but is probably one of the least recognised players in the France and Bayern Munich squad that respectively won those massive competitions.
He has been with Bayern since 2017, when he moved in a deal worth over €40 million from Lyon.
He has struggled to realise his promise in Germany, however. Injuries are one of the chief explanations for his troubles. After a promising first season at the Allianz Arena, in which he hit 10 goals and created seven more, he has never quite regained his status following a serious knee injury sustained against Bayer Leverkusen in September 2018.
In subsequent seasons, ankle and tendon injuries have both kept him sidelined for long periods, and at the start of 2021/22 he struggled with calf issues.
Tolisso, though, is a player whose versatility and talent means that he remains on the radar of the game’s biggest clubs, largely thanks to the contributions he made earlier in his career.
