Nemanja Matic has joined Lyon from Rennes on a deal until 2026, the club have announced.

Matic, 35, joins amid a catastrophic season with Lyon sitting 16th in Ligue 1, the division’s relegation play-off spot.

The 35-year-old only played 13 games in half a season at Rennes before making the switch.

He did not feature in Rennes’ 3-2 win over Lyon on Friday night.

Matic, a two-time Premier League winner with Chelsea, has also played for Manchester United, Roma, and Benfica among others, bringing serious pedigree, but a relegation battle is a new challenged for him.
