Nemanja Matic News: Becomes free agent

Matic has departed Lyon with immediate effect after both parties agreed to end the contract Thursday.

Matic was going to miss the first two games of the 2025/26 season due to what the league described as "poor behavior," but the midfielder won't be sidelined since he's decided to depart the club with immediate effect. Matic was playing in the final year of his contract with Lyon, and the Serbian veteran will aim to sign with a new club before the end of the transfer period.
