Corentin Tolisso is no longer a Bayern Munich player.
The midfielder had landed in the summer of 2017 with the status of a future crack in European football, carried by great promises in the colors of Olympique Lyonnais.
Five seasons later, the results are more than mixed given the amount invested (40 million euros).
Despite a very good first year crowned by a victory with the Blues at the World Cup in 2018, he failed to impose himself at the highest level.
“After five successful years together, Corentin Tolisso will leave FC Bayern this summer.
Thank you Coco, and all the best for the future!
“, said the club on its social networks.
The harvest turns out to be magnificent in terms of trophies.
The midfielder is a four-time German champion and winner of the Champions League in 2020. However, repeated injuries have undermined his career in Bavaria.
This season again, he has only played 15 Bundesliga games, including 8 as a starter and only 2 in full.
The last relapse dates back to last April.
Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann then spoke of a player "totally collapsed".
“He has already had a lot of muscle tears lately (…) In addition, his contract is about to expire, and it is not an easy situation for a player,” he said.
“At some point, it becomes difficult”
At the beginning of May, he again hinted that the adventure was probably going to end with the Munich residents.
" It's not his fault.
We saw him this year in a game where he walked into the locker room with tears in his eyes.
This is something that really worries him.
At some point, it becomes difficult.
But I have a lot of respect for him.
He is a very good player and we have a very good relationship”.
A new Start 🙏🏽✌🏾❤️ https://t.co/9A9TRNx0F4

It is now a question of relaunching his career at the age of 27.
Probably far from Germany.
“A new start”, soberly declared the person concerned this Monday noon, without saying more about his future.
To attract a club close to the standing of Bayern Munich, it is an understatement to say that he will have to start by reassuring about his physical condition.
Didier Deschamps is undoubtedly closely following the case of this player whom he appreciates for his experience and his versatility, but whom he has not recalled to Blue since Euro 2021.
