Dimitri Payet has submitted an astonishing demand to clubs who want to recruit him.
Released by OM last month and one year from the expiry of his lease, Dimitri Payet can sign with the team of his choice. But, the Reunionese is in no hurry to find a new base.
Payet could find Bilic
The former French international does not want to bounce anywhere. And, above all, he does not want to have to challenge his former club. He carries OM too much in his heart to imagine shining against them. And that’s the condition he issues to every recruit that comes knocking on his door.
According to the media FC Marseille, four clubs of the French elite sought to sign him before changing their minds in front of this rather particular desire. Usually, only players who are ready are exempted from confrontations against the clubs they previously played for. This is clearly not the case with Payet.
Besides Ligue 1, Payet has other possibilities. He would have received requests from Turkish, Brazilian and Saudi teams. In the Saudi Pro League, it is Al-Fateh’s training that makes him look good. She is coached by Croatian trainer Slaven Bilic. The latter knows the seasoned French playmaker very well, having already managed him at West Ham a few years ago.
