He is back!
If his return to Lyon was no longer in doubt for 24 hours, Corentin Tolisso is now officially a player of Olympique Lyonnais.
The club confirmed this on Twitter, posting an "announcement" video this Friday morning titled "Welcome Home".
Trained in Lyon, Corentin Tolisso, a 28-time French international, returns to OL for free after five seasons at Bayern Munich, during which he played 118 games and scored 21 goals but also seen many held back by injuries.
Did you really think he was going to miss this?

World champion with the Blues, Tolisso, 27, has signed a five-year contract with OL.
This is the second big blow for the Rhone club in this transfer window, after having already carried out a similar operation with another of its former players, also free of any contract, Alexandre.
The latter also greeted the return of his former teammate on Twitter with a military salute emoji, the way he celebrated his goals from the time of OL.
In addition, according to information from the team, the Brazilian winger Tetê, who arrived from Ukraine after the outbreak of the war against Russia, will stay one more season in Lyon.
OL have reportedly reached an agreement with their club, Shaktar Donetsk, to renew their loan.
