Lyon has reached an agreement with Bordeaux over the transfer of France playmaker Yoann Gourcuff.
The two clubs agreed Monday on a transfer fee of $27.8 million.
If the 24-year-old Gourcuff passes a medical it will be the second major offseason signing for Lyon, which also recruited winger Jimmy Briand from Rennes.
The move for Gourcuff may have been influenced by Honorato Ederson's long-term injury. The Brazilian playmaker hurt his hamstring in a friendly between Brazil and the United States earlier this month and will be sidelined for several months.
