Prior to joining Bayern Munich last summer, Corentin Tolisso had been linked to Serie A clubs a few times. The French midfielder spoke to Gazzetta dello Sport about his discussions with Italian teams:”I spoke to De Laurentiis on the telephone, he made a very good impression. I was very close to joining Napoli, but then I decided to improve myself with Lyon’s jersey, and in fact the year after I was on Bayern and the national team”
Tolisso was also a transfer target for Juventus prior to joining Bayern Munich, where he got to know Carlo Ancelotti:”I preferred Bayern. Carlo is great, he won everything, there’s nothing to add. On his Napoli I really like Insigne, of the Italian players, he’s the one I appreciate the most
