Maxime Gonalons will leave Lyon to sign with Roma, the french club's president confirmed on Thursday.
Gonalons, 28, had been linked to Premier League side Newcastle United, but with just a year left on his Lyon contract, he is set to depart.
"Maxime came in this morning to sign his termination agreement," Jean-Michel Aulas said. "We've agreed with Roma, we part on very good terms."
Multiple outlets in Italy reported the transfer to be worth €5 million and said Gonalons would sign a four-year contract.
Earlier in the day, the midfielder's agent had tweeted that a deal had been settled.
"Agreement reached [between] Olympique Lyonnais and AS Roma for the transfer of Maxime Gonalons," agent Frederic Guerra wrote. "Medical Monday in Rome...thank you to the two presidents."

Speaking to LaRoma24, Guerra added: "I can confirm that it's all done for Gonalons to Roma, I think for €5m. We should arrive in the capital on Sunday and the medical is expected on Monday. The player will sign a four-year contract."
L'Equipe reported earlier this week that Gonalons, who has made 241 Ligue 1 appearances after coming through Lyon's youth academy, had agreed personal terms on a four-year contract in the Italian capital.
