After 187 Bundesliga games, Weiß said goodbye to Essen on 30 May 2018[4] and signed for the 2018/19 season with Champions League winners Lyon. For the 2020/21 season, Weiß moved to the English league to promoted Aston Villa and signed a two-year contract there.[5]  After just one season, she returned to Germany and played in five league games in the 2021/22 season for VfL Wolfsburg, with whom she won the German championship.
