The 29-year-old moves for an initial fee of six million
euros, rising to a potential total of 11 million euros ($12.9m) with bonuses,
Lyon said, and has signed a contract until 2024.
Capped 96 times by Switzerland, Shaqiri played for Basel,
Bayern Munich and Inter Milan before moving to England in 2015 when he signed
for Stoke City.
He then joined Liverpool in 2018 and made 63 appearances for
the Anfield club over the last three seasons, leaving with winners medals in
the Premier League, Champions League, Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup.
“Everybody at Liverpool FC thanks Xherdan for his
contributions over the past three seasons and wishes him the very best for the
rest of his career,” said a club statement.
He is the second player to move to Lyon from the Premier
League in recent days after Italian international left-back Emerson Palmieri
signed on loan from Chelsea.
