Forced to leave OM, Dimitri Payet could bounce back to a Ligue 1 club.
Two weeks ago, it was in tears in front of the press that Dimitri Payet announced his more or less forced departure from OM, one year from the expiration of his contract. A painful outcome for the Marseille captain, who was gradually withdrawn under the orders of Igor Tudor last season and finally hardly revived by the successor of the Croatian, Marcelino.
However, the Reunionese playmaker, at the age of 36, does not feel ready to hang up his crampons. “What I especially want today is to play, to find pleasure on the ground, quite simply, said the person concerned during his farewell to Marseille. I think I still have ball and fun to give to some people. It will be a parenthesis, of one, two or three years. The body will decide. »

This parenthesis, some would see it well in Saudi Arabia, the new Eldorado of football where the Al-Shabab club in particular would make eyes at him. The Turkish elite could also be a way out, while Besiktas are given a certain interest in the former Stéphanois or Nantes player. But according to Le Foot magazine, there is a Ligue 1 club that would revive number 10 in a polished game.
After betting on a former glory of OM already in the person of Steve Mandanda, Stade Rennais would be willing to welcome the experienced playmaker to complete a midfield already rich in the talents of Ludovic Blas, Enzo Le Fée, Benjamin Bourigeaud or even Lovro Majer. To see if Dimitri Payet imagines competing with his favorite club next season.
