Dimitri Payet, who is currently playing for Vasco da Gama in Brazil, could well surprise everyone by offering himself a new challenge. At 37, the former Olympique de Marseille playing master seems determined to continue to enjoy the field and extend an already impressive career.
According to recent information, this new chapter could take him to North America, more precisely to MLS. A club, whose name has not yet been revealed, has reportedly shown keen interest in the French attacking midfielder. It would be a great opportunity for him to discover a booming championship, while pursuing his passion in a different setting.
Payet does not want to say stop
For Payet, this possible transfer would represent a third experience abroad after West Ham in the Premier League and Vasco da Gama in Brazil. Although Olympique de Marseille, his favorite club, has already planned a retraining for him, the Reunionese is not yet ready to leave the field.
“Honestly, what scares me the most is seeing the end coming. I don’t tell myself today that the end is near, but I know that at some point, my body will tell me “enough is enough”. I love the ball so much that the end is going to be difficult for me,”
he revealed to L’Equipe a few weeks ago.
If he joins MLS, he will once again illustrate his love for the game and his refusal to draw a line under a career which has had such an impact on French football. At 37, Dimitri Payet proves that age is just a number when you are driven by a passion for football. He continues to inspire with his longevity and love of the game.
