Roma defender Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa is on the verge of joining Olympique Lyonnais, according to French papers.
Le Parisien claim that a deal is practically done for the centre-back worth €9m.
The 26-year-old only joined from Newcastle United in September 2014 and made the loan permanent for a total cost of €8.5m.
This would be a return to France for Yanga-Mbiwa, who left Montpellier for Newcastle in January 2013.
Last season he made 38 competitive appearances for Roma, scoring a famous goal in the Derby della Capitale against Lazio.
