OM: a way out for Payet

Very little used by Igor Tudor this season, Dimitri Payet still has a year of contract with Olympique de Marseille. A departure is under consideration.

The season will have been long for Dimitri Payet. Author of an excellent 2021-2022 campaign under the orders of Jorge Sampaoli, the Reunionese has been demoted in the hierarchy since the arrival of Igor Tudor. To explain his sidelining, the Croatian technician explained that the attacking midfielder did not have the physical qualities necessary to adapt to his system of play.

The former West Ham player had however managed to return to the rotation at the end of the season by scoring against Lens and against Angers in the 34th and 35th day of Ligue 1. While we thought he could be the X factor of this final sprint, he was suspended by the LFP for his slap against Yannick Cahuzac. In total, he will therefore only have held eleven times.

Payet courted by José Anigo in Greece

One year from the end of his contract, the captain of OM does not want to experience a season of the same ilk. Will the departure of Igor Tudor change the situation for Payet? Not really, according to information from The Team. Indeed, the daily explains that the player could leave the Marseille city. He is particularly coveted by Olympiakos, where he could find José Anigo.

A rumor that suggests that its leaders will not count on him either next season, regardless of the name of the next coach who will take over from Tudor. As a reminder, the native of Saint-Pierre had been sent back to the locker room by his coach for a lack of investment in training, before the trip to Lille. Will Payet play again with OM before retiring? Answer in the next few weeks.
