Rising U.S. women’s national team talent Lily Yohannes is reportedly set for a move to France’s top flight. Yohannes is closing in on a move to European powerhouse Lyon, ESPN and The Athletic reported Tuesday. The 18-year-old is currently under contract with Dutch club Ajax until July 2026. Ajax is set to receive roughly €450,000 for Yohannes and a sell-on percentage should Lyon transfer the midfielder in the future. Lyon had previously expressed interest in Yohannes back in mid-June and has continued that interest this month.A former dual-national, Yohannes committed to the USWNT over the Netherlands. She debuted for the United States in June 2024, scoring on her debut and earning a combined eight caps since. At club level, Yohannes debuted for Ajax’s first team in 2023 and since has scored 11 goals in 50 first-team appearances. She became the youngest player to ever start a UEFA Women’s Champions League match when Ajax faced Paris Saint-Germain in UCL play. Yohannes would connect with fellow USWNT teammate Lindsey Heaps at Lyon. Lyon won the Premiere Ligue title in 2024-25 while also reaching the Women’s Champions League semifinals before falling to eventual winners, Arsenal.
