FC Bayern to Earn Millions from Tanguy Niazou Transfer to Lille

Former Bayern defender Tanguy Niazou, 24, is close to completing a move to French Ligue 1 side OSC Lille. Reports indicate the transfer fee could range between €3 million and €6 million. Under the original deal with Sevilla, Bayern secured a €4 million bonus payable on a future sale and retained a 22.5 % sell‑on clause. If Lille’s payment falls within the reported range, Bayern could receive an additional several million euros beyond the base fee.

The move follows Niazou’s stint at Sevilla, where injuries and inconsistent form limited his impact after joining the club in 2022 for a reported €16 million. Lille, needing a new centre‑back, appear ready to give the former Bayern prospect regular playing time, while Bayern stand to benefit financially from the transaction.
