Terrier played over 200 games and scored over 60 goals in Ligue 1 for Lille, Strasbourg, Lyon and Rennes. He joined the last two clubs for €11 million and €12 million, respectively.
Born in Armentières in 1997, Terrier started his football career with SC Bailleul youth team. He moved to Lille in 2004.[3]
In 2016, Terrier was called up for the Lille first team. On 22 October, he made his Ligue 1 debut against Bastia at Stade Pierre-Mauroy, replacing Yves Bissouma in the 84th minute.[4] On 14 December, he played the full match in the round of 16 of the Coupe de la Ligue in a 3–1 away defeat against Paris Saint-Germain.[5] On 7 January 2017, he scored his first professional goal in the 90th minute of a 4–1 home win in the round of 64 of Coupe de France, against Excelsior.[6] On 29 April, he scored his first goal in Ligue 1, as a substitute, in the 75th minute of a 3–0 away win over Montpellier.[7]
On 18 August 2017, Terrier was signed by fellow Ligue 1 side Strasbourg on a season-long loan deal. On 27 August, he made his debut in a 2–0 away defeat against Guingamp, playing the full match.[8] On 30 September, he scored his first goal as a substitute in the second minute of added time, in a 1–1 away draw against Dijon.[9]
On 26 January 2018, Terrier was sold by Lille to Lyon for €11 million, with a potential €4 million addition, with Lille keeping 10% of a future fee. He signed until the summer of 2022. Lyon loaned him straight back to Strasbourg so that he would finish his deal there.[10] He scored on his debut for Lyon, opening a 2–0 home win over Strasbourg on 24 August.[11]
He scored his first European goal on 2 October 2019 in a 2–0 win at RB Leipzig in the UEFA Champions League group stage, starting ahead of Moussa Dembélé and Jeff Reine-Adélaïde.[12]
On 6 July 2020, Rennes announced that Terrier had signed a five-year contract with the club, for a reported €12 million plus bonus fees.[13][14] He made his debut on 22 August, playing the full 90 minutes of the season opener away to his former club Lille;[15] a week later he was sent off in a 2–1 home win over Montpellier.[16] He opened his account on 16 October with the first goal of a 1–1 draw at Dijon, eventually finishing the season with nine goals, including two at home to the same opponents in a 5–1 win on 25 April 2021.[17][18]
In 2021–22, Terrier scored his first goal in the third match on 22 August, the only one of a Derby Breton win over Nantes at Roazhon Park.[19] On 5 December, he scored his first hat-trick in a 5–0 win at Saint-Étienne.[20] The season was the most prolific of his career with 21 goals, joint third in the league behind Kylian Mbappé and Wissam Ben Yedder and equal to Moussa Dembélé.[21] He was the UNFP Player of the Month for March and made the Team of the Year.[22][23]
Terrier scored his ninth goal of the 2022–23 Ligue 1 season to open a 2–1 home win over Nice on 2 January 2023, but suffered a right-knee anterior cruciate ligament injury through a collision with Jordan Lotomba, thereby being ruled out for the rest of the season.[24] Previously, on 16 October, he scored two headers in a 3–2 home win over his former club Lyon, whom Laurent Blanc was managing for the first time.[25]
On 5 October 2023, Terrier returned in a 1–0 loss away to Villarreal in the UEFA Europa League group stage. He came on with nine minutes remaining and missed a penalty in added time.[26]
On 18 July 2024, Bayer Leverkusen announced that Terrier had signed a five-year contract with the club, for a reported fee of around €20 million.[27]
Uncapped, Terrier was chosen by France under-20 for the 2017 FIFA World Cup in South Korea.[28] On his debut on 22 May in the first group game, he came on as a 66th-minute substitute for Jean-Kévin Augustin, and 15 minutes later scored the final goal of a 3–0 win over Honduras.[29] He played each other game of a run to the last 16, including the entirety of the final group game in which the French won 2–0 against New Zealand.[30]
Terrier made his under-21 debut on 5 September 2017, in a 4–1 win over Kazakhstan in Le Mans, in 2019 UEFA European Championship qualification. On in the 57th minute for Adama Diakhaby, he scored a hat-trick.[31] In his next three games, he scored once against Montenegro from the bench, twice as a starter against Luxembourg and again at home to Bulgaria, thereby scoring all seven of his under-21 goals in the first four of his 13 games.[32][33][34]
