The Canaries announced the news at the start of the evening, confirming the signing of the emblematic Lyonnais for six months, plus two years as an option.
Gone since he was 10, the 34-year-old Portuguese international will have played 489 professional matches in the colors of OL.
The person concerned is free to join Nantes, Lyon having agreed to terminate its current lease. “Olympique Lyonnais and Anthony Lopes have decided, by mutual agreement, to end the contract which bound them until the end of the season, thus closing an exceptional 24-year adventure between the goalkeeper and his training club” , specifies OL in a press release.
