Corentin Tolisso is likely to leave Bayern Munich on a free transfer, with the German giants still to discuss a new contract with the reported Tottenham target, per Sky Germany.
FCB have made no attempt to debate new terms with the Frenchman, who will be a free agent from June.
Instead, ‘everything points’ to the Bundesliga leaders and midfielder parting at the end of the season and his contract.
Tolisso joined Bayern from Lyon in 2017 for €41.5m (£35m), plus €6m (£5m) in add-ons. He has gone on to make 104 appearances, but has only featured eight times this term.
The 27-year-old has additionally only started two of his outings under Julian Nagelsmann. Opening last month’s 5-2 Bundesliga win over Union Berlin and August’s 12-0 rout of fifth-tier Bremer SV in the DFB-Pokal.
Only Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting (124), Tanguy Nianzou (115), Bouna Sarr (45) and Chris Richards (2) have played fewer minutes than Tolisso (126) in the Bundesliga this season, among those to feature for Bayern.
Tolisso’s future is completely open, with no club the clear favourite to sign the Tottenham target on a free transfer once his Bayern Munich contract ends. Calciomercato have cited Spurs as a potential suitor, against interest from clubs in England, France, Spain and Italy.
While adding that Tottenham Managing Director Fabio Paratici has already spoken to his agent over a move to north London.
Should Tottenham sign Bayern midfielder Tolisso on free transfer?
Tolisso has no interest in signing a new contract at Bayern Munich, if the German side were to open talks, per Calciomercato, aiding Tottenham’s hopes of a potential free transfer.
But he will seek a €6m-a-year (£98k-a-week) contract to join in the next summer window. And could have potential suitors in Atletico Madrid, Roma, Juventus or Inter Milan, as well.
Whoever wins the race for his signature will gain a top box-to-box operator, capable of influencing both phases of play. As former boss Hansi Flick explained to Abendzeitung:
“You can tell during training that a burden has fallen from him. That is extremely important for him, because then he has a certain degree of looseness.
“Then he can play with his very own class, which gives him more self-confidence. He is very strong. He has this quality, good finishes from the second row.”
