OL Lyonnes have announced the signing of midfielder Caroline Weir from Real Madrid on a three-year deal.
Sources had told ESPN that Lyonnes were in advanced talks with the Scottish international after Madrid confirmed her departure on Friday after a successful four-year stint.
Weir, Madrid's all-time top scorer, has signed a contract with Lyonnes that runs until June 2029.
"I was super excited to hear that Lyon were interested. For me, it's the club with the most history in the women's game," Weir said in a video posted by the club on X.
"To be part of this project, the ambition of the club was really in line with what I want to achieve, so I guess it was a no-brainer in so many ways to commit to this club."
The 30-year-old previously spent nine years playing in England, with short spells at Arsenal, Bristol City and Liverpool before joining Manchester City in 2018.

Her rapid rise earned her a move to Madrid in 2022, where she quickly became one of the most important players in the club's history.
Weir also ranks fourth among Scotland's all-time top scorers. She bagged a hat trick against Israel in a 6-0 win on June 5 and surpassed herself by scoring four against Belgium four days later, to help Scotland finish first in their World Cup qualifying group.
She will be the first Scottish player to represent the French champions.
