AS Monaco have completed the signing of midfielder Fares Bahlouli from Lyon on a five-year deal.
Despite being used sparingly by Lyon boss Hubert Fournier in Ligue 1 last season, Bahlouli's potential has seen him linked with Juventus and Manchester City in recent months.
However, Monaco have won the battle to secure the 20-year-old's services after agreeing a fee in the region of £2.4m.
"I am excited to join AS Monaco. This is a club that is currently building a beautiful project by trusting youth. I cannot wait to see my new teammates," Bahlouli told the club's website.
Lyon have confirmed that the deal includes a sell-on clause should Bahlouli leave Monaco in the future.
