Club career
=Early career=
Tolisso started out with local clubs near his birthplace of Tarare and hometown of Amplepuis.{{cite web|url=https://www.bundesliga.com/en/news/Bundesliga/corentin-tolisso-10-things-bayern-munich-french-world-cup-winner-510120.jsp|title=Corentin Tolisso: 10 things on Bayern Munich's French World Cup winner|publisher=Bundesliga|access-date=9 August 2018}} Before becoming a tough-tackling, probing midfielder, he used to play as a forward. Tolisso even scored a hat-trick in a 4–4 draw against his future club Olympique Lyonnais at the age of 11. He then signed up for Lyon's academy in 2007 at the age of 13.{{cite web|url= https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/jun/21/corentin-tolisso-lyon-bayern-munich-transfer-record-bundesliga|title=Corentin Tolisso: the €41.5m player who broke Bayern Munich's transfer record|website=The Guardian|last=Devin|first=Eric|date=21 June 2017|access-date=6 December 2017}}

On 10 August 2013, manager Rémi Garde handed Tolisso his debut for the club, bringing him on as 92nd minute substitute in a 4–0 Ligue 1 home win over Nice, but he didn't even touch the ball once as the referee blew the whistle few seconds later.{{cite news|last=Buzy|first=William (10 August 2013)|url=https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/match/292567|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130701170904/http://www.lequipe.fr/Football/match/292567|url-status=dead|archive-date=1 July 2013|title=Lyon – Nice (4–0)|website=L'Equipe|access-date=23 July 2016|language=fr}} He made his European club competition debut on 24 October 2013, featuring in a 1–0 win over HNK Rijeka in the group stage of the 2013–14 UEFA Europa League.{{cite news|url=https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/match/311072|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131022205244/http://www.lequipe.fr/Football/match/311072|url-status=dead|archive-date=22 October 2013|title=Lyon – HNK Rijeka (1–0)|website=L'Equipe|date=24 October 2013|access-date=23 July 2016|language=fr}} A week later, Tolisso signed his first professional contract with the club, penning a deal until 2017.{{cite news|url=http://www.olweb.fr/fr/article/contrat-professionnel-pour-tolisso-63818.html|title=Contrat Professionnel Pour Tolisso|date=30 October 2013|access-date=23 July 2016|website= Olympique Lyon|language=fr}} On 9 March 2014, he scored his first senior career goal with an injury time (in the 94th minute) winner to give Lyon a 2–1 Ligue 1 away win over Bordeaux.{{cite news|url=https://int.soccerway.com/matches/2014/03/09/france/ligue-1/fc-girondins-de-bordeaux/olympique-lyonnais/1479318/|title=Bordeaux v Lyon 1 – 2|publisher=Soccerway|date=9 March 2014|access-date=31 December 2015}} Tolisso was used as a utility player for the majority of the season, operating at right back in place of Mouhamadou Dabo and later in central midfield following injuries to Yoann Gourcuff and Gueïda Fofana.{{cite news|url=https://footbalistiquement.wordpress.com/2015/08/07/tolisso-plus-quun-couteau-suisse/|title=Tolisso plus qu'n couteau Suisse|author=Maxences|website=Footballistiquement|date=7 August 2015|access-date=23 July 2016|language=fr}}
The continued absence of Fofana and subsequent injury to Clément Grenier afforded Tolisso the opportunity to enjoy more first team action with Lyon in the following season. During the 2014–15 season he featured in every Ligue 1 match for the side, netting seven goals.{{cite news|last=Baki|first=Philip (2 October 2015)|url=http://outsideoftheboot.com/2015/10/02/scout-report-corentin-tolisso-lyons-latest-impressive-young-midfielder/|title=Scout Report – Corentin Tolisso: Lyon's latest impressive young midfielder|website= Outside of the Boot|access-date=23 July 2016}} At the end of the season Tolisso and teammates Nabil Fekir and Anthony Lopes were rewarded with improved contracts, penning new deals with the club until 2020.{{cite news|url=http://www.olweb.fr/fr/article/nabil-fekir-corentin-tolisso-et-anthony-lopes-ont-prolonge-68386.html|title=Nabil Fekir, Corentin Tolisso et Anthony Lopes ont Pronlonge!|website=Olympique Lyon|date=8 July 2015|access-date=23 July 2016|language=fr}} He continued his fine form into the 2015–16 Ligue 1 season where he netted five goals and set up six assists as Lyon ended the Ligue 1 season as runners-up to Paris Saint-Germain.{{cite news|url=http://www.olweb.fr/fr/joueur/corentin-tolisso-2023.html|title=Corentin Tolisso|website=Olympique Lyon|access-date=23 July 2016|language=fr}}
==2016–17 season==
Tolisso's form in the previous season earned him numerous suitors from around Europe and in July 2016 he was subject to a €37.5 million bid from Serie A side Napoli. He turned down the move and reaffirmed his commitment to Lyon, however, citing his affection for the club and belief in their progress as his reasons for staying at the club.{{cite news|last=Rodden|first=Mark (28 July 2016)|url=http://www.espnfc.com/story/2919194/corentin-tolisso-confirms-intention-to-stay-at-lyon-amid-napoli-bid|title=Corentin Tolisso confirms intention to stay at Lyon amid Napoli bid|website=ESPN|access-date=1 July 2016}}
He made his first appearance of the season in the 2016 Trophée des Champions on 6 August 2016 where Lyon were beaten 4–1 by reigning Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain. Tolisso himself found the back of the net in the 87th minute but the goal proved to be no more than a consolation.{{cite news|url=http://www.goal.com/en-ie/match/psg-vs-olympique-lyonnais/2235966|title=PSG 4–1 Olympique Lyonnais|website=Goal|date=6 August 2016|access-date=6 August 2016}} Tolisso scored his first Ligue 1 goal of the season on 27 August, opening the scoring in a 4–2 away loss to Dijon, and his first ever goal (in the 13th minute) in a UEFA club competition on 14 September in a 3–0 UEFA Champions League group stage home win over Dinamo Zagreb.{{cite news|url=http://www.supersport.com/football/france/news/160827/Lacazette_injured_as_Lyon_humbled|title=Lacazette injured as Lyon humbled|website=SuperSport|date=27 August 2016|access-date=28 August 2016}}{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/0253-0d0467f6fc09-f8b7db4f37d8-1000--lyon-off-and-running-at-dinamo-s-expense/|title=Lyon off and running at Dinamo's expense|website=UEFA|date=14 September 2016|access-date=22 February 2017}}
On 2 October 2016, with regular captain Maxime Gonalons and vice-captain Alexandre Lacazette injured, Tolisso was handed the armband in their stead and captained Lyon in the first ever Rhône derby against Saint-Étienne at Lyon's new stadium, Parc Olympique Lyonnais.{{cite news|url=http://frenchfootballweekly.com/2016/10/11/corentin-tolisso-heir-to-the-lyon-fortune/|title=Corentin Tolisso: Heir to the Lyon Fortune|website=French Football Weekly|first=Thariq|last=Amir|date=11 October 2016|access-date=21 December 2016}} In the return fixture on 5 February, Tolisso received the first red card of his career after being sent off for a foul on Fabien Lemoine in stoppage-time. Just moments before Tolisso's expulsion, Lyon teammate Rachid Ghezzal had been sent off as well for a challenge on the same player. The ill-discipline shown in Lyon's loss to Saint-Étienne prompted club president Jean-Michel Aulas to announce that both players would be severely punished for their actions.{{cite web|url=http://www.goal.com/en/news/1722/ligue-1/2017/02/07/32414212/lyon-to-severely-punish-ghezzal-and-tolisso-for-red-cards|website=Goal|title=Lyon to 'severely punish' Ghezzal and Tolisso for red cards against Saint-Etienne|last=Fisher|first=Jon|date=7 February 2017|access-date=22 February 2017}} Tolisso remained a constant fixture in the side, however, and ended the 2016–17 season with a return of 14 goals and seven assists in 47 appearances across all competitions for Lyon.{{cite web|title=Bayern Munich sign French star Corentin Tolisso on five-year deal|url=http://www.bundesliga.com/en/news/Bundesliga/bayern-munich-sign-french-star-corentin-tolisso-on-five-year-deal-olympique-lyon-446736.jsp|publisher=Bundesliga website|date=15 June 2017}} He was also named in the UEFA Europa League squad of the season.{{cite web|title=UEFA Europa League Squad of the Season|url=https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/news/0253-0d8227a747d5-c25ebf5c91c9-1000--uefa-europa-league-squad-of-the-2016-17-season/|publisher=UEFA|date=25 May 2017}}
