Dimitri Payet he ended up in the eye of the storm for his recent performances with Vasco da Gama and the former coach’s statements caused a stir in Brazil Joel Santana: “Those two together won’t work, because Coutinho won’t run for Payet and because Payet won’t run for Coutinho. Has Payet entered the field in the last few games? I haven’t seen him, he hasn’t done anything. Payet, with that haircut there , it’s hard to bear. He should go back to France, drink his champagne, eat his caviar and his oysters. Here are beans, rice and beer, it’s not good for him. He can’t lose weight: what does he eat then? “.
And now Payet’s adventure in Brazil may already be nearing its end. The managers of Vasco da Gama are apparently considering the possibility of terminating the player’s contract, active until June 2025. On an internal level, the performances of the former Marseille player, quite far from the expectations nourished upon his arrival, would be a further element. Payet, for his part, would have also thought about leaving in recent months, but a conversation with president Pedrinho, as well as the arrival of Coutinho, would have convinced him to stay. Updates will follow.
