It's been gathered that the deal will run until June 2022.
Slimani joins Rudi Garcia's side on a free transfer having played just 19 minutes of Premier League football for Leicester City in this campaign.
The 32-year-old is expected to boost Lyon's attacking force which already has Cameroon's Karl Toko Ekambi, Zimbabwe's Tino Kadewere and Ivory Coast's Maxwel Cornet.
"I am happy and proud to be at a big club like Lyon. I thank the president. When I was little, I have already come to the region, to Givors, to play tournaments with my team. I am a combative person who gives everything on the field,” Slimani said.
“I hope to bring my experience, my fighting spirit. I come to a team which is first in the championship, which plays well and scores goals. I want to help the team achieve its goals. I want to do something good here.
"Lyon is a big club which plays for the first places every year, which plays to participate in the Champions League.”
