Ajax and Lyon reach agreement over Argentina international left-back Nicolás Tagliafico

Ligue 1 side Olympique Lyonnais has reached an agreement to sign Argentina international left-back Nicolás Tagliafico (mock pictured) from reigning Eredivisie champions AFC Ajax.




LYON / AMSTERDAM - Ambitious Ligue 1 side Lyon have reached an agreement to sign Argentina international left-back Nicolás Tagliafico from defending Dutch champions Ajax on Saturday.


According to renowned Italian journalist, Fabrizio Romano, Lyon have agreed paid 4.2 million euros to sign the 29-year-old Tagliafico, who has made 40 international appearances for Argentina reportedly on a three-year deal, who has also shown an eye for goal, having scored 16 goals in 169 games for the Dutch club.


Lyon won the last of its seven straight French titles in 2008 but has fallen far behind Qatar-backed Paris Saint-Germain.


The club finished a disappointing eighth last season and out of the European places but has big ambitions under its new American owner John Textor.


Lyon brought back France midfielder Corentin Tolisso from German champion Bayern Munich and reunited him with his former teammate Alexandre Lacazette, who joined from Premier League club Arsenal.


Tolisso won five Bundesliga titles, to add to the Champions League and the Club World Cup in 2020, scoring 21 goals in 118 appearances.
