OM ‍: Payet also ejected, Marcelino cleans up

Very little used by Igor Tudor last season, Dimitri Payet could pack his bags and leave OM during this summer transfer window.

Follower of 4-4-2, will Marcelino find a place for Dimitri Payet next season at Olympique de Marseille? The new coach of the Marseille club has sometimes adapted his system to 4-2-3-1, a system in which the 36-year-old playmaker could find his place. But to everyone’s surprise, Dimitri Payet could finally leave OM one year from the end of his contract in Provence.

If he has always proclaimed his love of Marseille, where his children are very integrated, a Turkish offer could change the situation. According to information from Fikret, an agreement has already been reached between the captain of Olympique de Marseille and the Pendikspor club.

Reports from Turkey are often to be taken with a grain of salt and this one seems too big to be true, the ex-West Ham playmaker having repeated over and over again that he would not leave Marseille, where he still hopes for a retraining within the staff at the end of his career. But according to the insider account @LaMinuteOM, there is something going on between Payet and Pendikspor.

Real discussions for a departure from Payet?

“The information is not fake!!! I do not know if we are at the stage of an agreement on the other hand, but I can tell you that there is something for Payet “ published the insider account. Suffice to say that negotiations do exist between Olympique de Marseille, the Turkish club and the Marseille number 10. Pablo Longoria is unlikely to oppose Dimitri Payet’s departure, although the ex-France international’s salary has fallen over the years. Given his poor sporting performance last season, Payet will not be retained and Marcelino should not oppose his departure, especially since in this area of ​​play, the new OM coach will be able to count on Harit, Ounahi or even Malinovskyi and Ünder.
