The former Nantes player has appeared 17 times this season in his new colors, for a record of 2 goals and 1 assist. His arrival was appreciated by Vasco supporters, and his adventure in Brazil is for the moment a success with this maintenance operation carried out successfully.

After a detour to Paris, where he attended a performance of Crazy Horse, Payet can now reunite with his family and loved ones in Marseille. Vasco da Gama will return to competition at the end of January 2024, with the Rio state championship.
