France midfielder Corentin Tolisso has moved to Bayern Munich from Lyon for a fee that could reach 47.5 million euros ($53.5 million), the Bundesliga champions announced on Wednesday.

The 22-year-old signed a five-year deal with Bayern to bring an end to his 10-year association with Lyon.

Tolisso, who made his senior international debut against Spain in March, had been contracted to stay at Parc OL until 2020.

He impressed in the recent French season by scoring 14 goals in all competitions, a career-best tally.

Tolisso is Bayern coach Carlo Ancelotti's most expensive signing of the close season so far after the arrival of defender Niklas Suele from Hoffenheim for 20 million euros, and the permanent transfer of Tolisso's compatriot Kingsley Coman from Juventus for 21 million.

"We're really pleased we've been able to sign such a young and interesting player ahead of stiff competition from abroad. Corentin Tolisso was Carlo Ancelotti's wish for our midfield," said Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge in a statement.

After the retirement of Spaniard Xabi Alonso, there is a free slot in the Bayern midfield.
