Lyon have signed Austrian defender Felix Bacher on a five-year deal from Estoril.

Bacher joins in a deal worth €4.3m, signing a contract through to June 2031.

The 25-year-old made 58 appearances for Estoril in all competitions after joining in July 2024, scoring four goals in that time.

Last season, he played in every single Primeira Liga match and did not miss a single minute of league action, playing all 3,060 minutes.

Among his team-mates, nobody made more interceptions (47) or won more duels (181) than him, while he also played his part in a team-high five clean sheets.

Only Jordan Holsgrove (2,880) managed more touches than Bacher's 2,281, while the midfielder was also the only player to win more tackles than him (41 to 30).

"This is a great moment for me and my family. I am very grateful to sign for Olympique Lyonnais," he told the club's website.

"I hope we will all experience some great moments this season, and I can't wait to play for this club and its fans. I am an ambitious person; I like to be a leader for the team and give 100% on the pitch."

Bacher could be involved when Lyon face Sparta Prague in the third qualifying round of the Champions League on Tuesday.
