Olympique Lyonnais have signed Serbian midfielder Nemanja Matic from Stade Rennais, the Ligue 1 club announced on Saturday. The 35-year-old has signed a contract with Lyon until June 2026, in a deal worth 2.6 million euros ($2.8 million).
Matic had two spells with Chelsea, where he won two Premier League titles, and also played for Manchester United and AS Roma before moving to Stade Rennais on a two-year contract in August 2023.
He missed training earlier this month which saw the club issue a statement criticising him. Matic said in reply that he had been dealing with enrolling his children in school. Lyon are 16th in Ligue 1 after their 3-2 loss at home to Stade Rennais on Friday.
