The legend is back: Dimitri Payet returns to Marseille.

This winter, France will witness one of the most unexpected comebacks of the season.

Details: The 37-year-old midfielder Dimitri Payet, currently playing in Brazil for Vasco da Gama, has announced his return to Marseille.

Quote:

"Something has already been signed. The return to the club is happening. I want to help, I want to be useful, I want to continue contributing to Marseille’s growth."

However, Payet did not specify in what capacity he will return. It is likely he will join Roberto De Zerbi’s staff as an assistant.

Payet played 326 matches for Marseille, scoring 78 goals and providing 95 assists. Over his career, he has also played for West Ham, Lille, Nantes, and Saint-Étienne.

Reminder: To motivate Marseille players, currently third in Ligue 1, Roberto De Zerbi recently showed them the contract he was offered by Manchester United this summer.
