Career

Born in Clermont-Ferrand, France, Magnin progressed through the youth academy of hometown club Clermont. He made his professional debut for the club on 4 December 2018 in a Ligue 2 match against Paris FC. He came off the bench for Johan Gastien as his team lost 3–0.[3] He signed his first professional contract in January 2019.[4]

On 22 January 2020, Magnin signed a contract extension with Clermont until 2023.[5] He scored his first professional goal on 7 February against Valenciennes in a 3–1 win.[6] As a starter in the Clermont midfield during this 2019–20 season, he was voted into the Ligue 2 Team of the Season by France Football.[7]

During the 2020–21 season, he contributed to the club's historic promotion to Ligue 1, as Clermont rose to the top division of French football for the first time ever.[8] However, he was sidelined by an anterior cruciate ligament rupture in his right knee in April 2021, ending his season and keeping him out of action for several months.[9]

He returned to team practice in August 2021, having been out for several months due to his knee injury.[10] On 1 December 2021, Magnin scored his first goal in Ligue 1, during his first tenure in the top flight, against RC Lens. He scored the equalizing goal with a header in a 2–2 draw.[11]
