Brighton & Hove Albion has shown interest in acquiring midfielder Corentin Tolisso, aged 30, and has initiated contact with Olympique Lyon and the player's representatives to discuss a potential transfer in the upcoming January window. Despite this interest, Tolisso reportedly wishes to remain in Lyon, where he is contracted until 2027. However, Olympique Lyon might view the situation differently due to their ongoing financial challenges, which have resulted in a hiring freeze and the imposition of a salary cap on the club. The financial troubles are so severe that, if not resolved, the club could potentially face forced relegation.

Brighton, a Premier League club, has shown interest in Lyon's midfielder Corentin Tolisso, who has performed impressively in the first half of the season. Brighton has made inquiries regarding the possibility of a transfer this winter. The club's management has already collected information from their Lyon counterparts as well as from Tolisso himself. The midfielder reportedly feels flattered by the interest from a club with such level and ambition, but he is not inclined to leave during the winter transfer window. Tolisso reportedly feels very comfortable at Lyon, the club where he developed, alongside his friend Alexandre Lacazette, and he has significant sporting goals for the rest of the season. Although his departure could be financially advantageous for Lyon, as he earns an average of 600,000 euros gross per month, including bonuses.
