Ligue 1 powerhouse Lyon have agreed a deal to sign France striker Bafetimbi Gomis from archrivals Saint-Etienne on a five-year deal worth an initial €13 m.
The seven-time French champion said on their website that it will soon complete the deal once the 23-year-old Gomis passes his medical.
The fee could rise to €15 million with performance bonuses.
Since selling Karim Benzema to Real Madrid, Lyon has bought striker Lisandro Lopez and defender Aly Cissokho from FC Porto, and Lille winger Michel Bastos.
