+++ RUMOR +++

Ten million euros compensation for Pochettino?

According to a media report, France's soccer champions Paris Saint-Germain have agreed with the previous coach Mauricio Pochettino to terminate the coaching contract.

As the French sports newspaper L'Équipe reports, the 50-year-old Argentinian is to receive a severance payment of ten million euros.

According to information from the newspaper, the papers were already signed on Thursday.

The first candidate to succeed Pochettino at the capital club is Frenchman Christophe Galtier.

The 55-year-old most recently coached the first division club OGC Nice.

Former Bundesliga coach Lucien Favre signed a new contract there.

A possible separation between PSG and Pochettino has been reported for weeks.

The coach succeeded Thomas Tuchel at PSG in early 2021.

The Argentinian won the championship with the star ensemble, but was eliminated in the Champions League in the round of 16 against eventual winners Real Madrid.

Bayern's Tolisso moves to Lyon

After leaving FC Bayern Munich, Corentin Tolisso is returning to Olympique Lyon.

As the French first division soccer club announced on Friday, the midfielder signed a contract until the summer of 2027. "Lyon is my city, I grew up there, I feel comfortable there and I'm very happy to come back," said Tolisso.

His former Munich teammate Jérôme Boateng has also been under contract in Lyon since summer 2021.

Tolisso switched from Lyon to Bavaria in the summer of 2017 for a transfer fee of 41.5 million euros, a record purchase at the time.

However, the French international was repeatedly thrown back by injuries.

His contract in Munich, which expired at the end of June, was not extended.

Tolisso, world champion of 2018, won the German championship five times and the Champions League once with FC Bayern.

Tolisso was signed by Olympique Lyon at the age of twelve, where he played professionally from 2013 to 2017.

PSG

sign Vitinha

French soccer champions Paris Saint-Germain have signed Portuguese international Vitinha.

According to the club, the 22-year-old midfielder has signed a five-year contract until June 30, 2027.

Vintinha comes from the FC Porto youth team, for whom he made 47 competitive appearances last season and won the league and league cup double.

PSG did not provide any information about the fee.

According to »L'Equipe« and »A Bola«, PSG is said to have paid 40 million euros.
