Matic Lione Close to Finalizing His Transfer

Nemanja Matic is on the cusp of signing with Ligue 1 club, Lyon, according to Gianluca Di Marzio.

The French side appears to have outpaced both Fulham and Besiktas to secure the former Roma midfielder’s signature, with Matic expected to pen a two-year contract.

Matic has reportedly made the decision to leave Rennes due to family reasons, specifically related to the absence of an international school, attended by his children, in the city. This situation has led to the midfielder missing multiple training sessions over recent months, much to the ire of Rennes fans.
