Having left for Brazil last summer, Dimitri Payet intends to return to Olympique de Marseille at the end of his sporting career.
Dimitri Payet is having a complicated time in Brazil. Consequence of the difficulties of Vasco da Gama, on the verge of relegation. Beaten again last weekend, the Carioca club has only one point ahead of the first relegated team on the eve of the last day. A new defeat could mean a descent for Vasco da Gama.
Under contract until 2025, the Reunionese had undoubtedly imagined another scenario for his exile in Brazil. An exile which should only constitute a parenthesis for the former Stéphanois. His return to Olympique de Marseille, from which he left in tears last summer, is in fact recorded. Dimitri Payet confirmed this during an interview with Provence.
“My retraining at the club is planned, normally, when I retire from sport, but not necessarily in 2025,” he confided, adding: “It will be recorded at the end of my career. As late as possible. » This reconversion had already been mentioned at the time of his departure from the Olympian club last summer.
“The club offered me, if I stopped today, a retraining, he then explained. But I still have the ball and pleasure to give… We have also made progress on the post-career and on joining the club at the end of my career. My end of career will be marked by my return here. »
Since his signing at Vasco da Gama, Dimitri Payet has essentially had to settle for an understudy role, with certainly 16 appearances, but only six starts. With two goals and an assist. However, this is not enough to alter his love rating among Vasco da Gama supporters.
