This is the surprising rumor of the day, which we will refrain from commenting on in substance, but whose form we will analyze. Namely the figures surrounding the former captain of Olympique de Marseille. Without knowing the level of veracity of the information, journalist João Van Boysen evokes the interest of AS Saint-Etienne for Dimitri Payet.
That of the Greens, but also of the Stade Malherbe de Caen in Ligue 2 and teams, from the MLS on one side and the Liga MX on the other. He also assures that Vasco, where Dimitri Payet is under contract, would not be too difficult to convince. This is because as much as the 37-year-old attacking midfielder no longer has much value on the transfer market, in the financial sense of the term, his salary weighs on the mass of players at his Brazilian club.
A falling valuation, but a salary that matters for Vasco
In terms of valuation, Dimitri Payet's rating now oscillates between half and a million euros. Vasco recruited him in 2023, after OM and its player terminated the last year of the contract by mutual agreement. It is also by canceling a few months in advance of the final deadline that the French international could be released this January.
With Vasco, he signed a two-year contract until the end of June 2025, in return for a salary estimated at 185,000 euros gross per month. It's a lot for the promoted player from Saint-Etienne but not insurmountable, depending on whether the desires of the player and those of AS Saint-Etienne are clearly oriented in the same direction.
