Four million Lyon-Ajax deal for Tagliafico

Tagliafico has gone from being an option for Barcelona to being all but signed by Olympique Lyon, who have already reached a full agreement with Ajax for him. Journalists Hugo Guillemet and Mike Verweijk report the details of the deal, which is worth four million euros. It is not much, but his contract expires next season.

He will be paid 2.5 million euros, which could be three depending on some variables that will be included in his contract. Everything will depend on his adaptation to the French elite, where he has not been so far in his career, to see if his performance matches the insistence that the French team has shown to get him.

He will undergo the relevant medical tests this Friday, so it is quite likely that his landing will be official this weekend. These days, he will focus on managing his move and the necessary travel to prepare for the 2022-23 campaign, focusing on a completely different sporting project.

His good years at Ajax explain this twist in his footballing life. Since leaving Independiente, he has been a key player for the Dutch side, from which he has been considering leaving for some time now. When he was linked with a move to Barcelona, he spoke openly about how much he liked the option.
