The future of Dimitri Payet (37) at Vasco da Gama has often been talked about. After a mixed 2024 season (5 goals, 9 assists in 41 matches), the Reunion player, whose contract runs until June 2025, has often attracted the wrath of the Brazilian press. But the president of the Carioca club, Pedrinho, told the channel last Friday Vasco Fanatic that the Frenchman was not going to leave Rio de Janeiro before the end of his lease. Just like Philippe Coutinho.

“They are two above average players. Coutinho is an exceptional guy, he comes from an Arab club (Al-Duhail), with a different dynamic. And what he brings to the club, in terms of entertainment, passion from the fans, and what he brings on the pitch… He's a very good player. With a good pre-season, we expect a lot from him. And Payet, I have nothing to complain about in this final stretch. He's a guy who invested, who gave everything, who showed interest. What I'm asking for is professionalism, playing well or badly is subjective. I have nothing to do but honor my commitment and wait for a technical response from both of them. They have a contract and they will respect it”he said.
