The signing, made outside the summer transfer window under French rules, includes bonuses of up to 3 million euros ($3.32 million) and a 25 per cent sell-on clause, Lyon added.
Veretout, 31, started his senior career at Nantes before joining Aston Villa in 2015. He joined Marseille in 2022 and made 94 appearances for the club in all competitions.
Lyon, who lost their first two Ligue 1 matches before beating Strasbourg last week, will resume their campaign at Lens after the international break, while unbeaten Marseille will host Nice.
