A big name from Olympique de Marseille has closed a chapter in his career.

The information did not go unnoticed on the side of Marseille, where he left an indelible mark: Dimitri Payet leaves Vasco de Gama. The Brazilian club formalized the departure of the French attacking midfielder on Monday.

“The club thanks the athlete for the professionalism, the dedication and the respect he showed throughout his stay in Sao Januario and wishes him success in his next challenges”can we read in an official press release from the Brazilian stable, which adds having “Found in a friendly way an agreement to terminate in an early manner”.

Payet was not extended by the Vasco de Gama while his contract expires on June 30. From the top of his 38 years, he closed the first chapter of his career outside the European continent. It remains to be seen if it will be the last.

An always virgin track record for Payet

Passed by Nantes, Saint-Etienne, Lille, Marseille and West Ham, Dimitri Payet had arrived in Brazil in the summer of 2023 after leaving OM. His experience of the very high level was precious for the Vasco de Gama, a legendary Brazilian club then in danger on the sporting level.

In total, the former Marseillais will have scored 7 goals and distilled 13 assists in 75 appearances with the Brazilian club, but that was not enough for him to write a first line to his record. The possibility of short -term conversion in the organization chart of Olympique de Marseille has been mentioned.
