Without a club since the termination of his Marseille contract, Dimitri Payet is about to commit according to L’Equipe.

Dimitri Payet and Ligue 1 are well and truly over. Despite the strong interest of clubs like FC Nantes and Stade Rennais, the former Olympian made the decision not to play in France anymore – except in the sky and white jersey. Symbol of his attachment revealed Friday by the journalist Saber Desfarges: the renewal of his concession in a family box at the Vélodrome stadium. A sign that the Reunionese will continue to carefully monitor the performance of his former partners.

As for his professional future, Dimitri Payet benefited these days from four concrete leads. One leading to Saudi Arabia via a golden bridge, but without being privileged. According to L’Equipe, the 36-year-old attacking midfielder has already reached an agreement with a club for a completely different destination. An unexpected destination: Brazil.

It is indeed in favor of Vasco da Gama – formation of Rio de Janeiro – that the former tricolor international promises to commit. The current 19e and penultimate in Serie A auriverde, at mid-season, is urgently looking for a playmaker to make up for his technical deficit and catch up. In the past, another former glory of Ligue 1 ended his career in the ranks of this Carioca club, in the person of Juninho.
