According to RMC, Dimitri Payet is expected to sign with Olympique de Marseille in the coming hours. Marseille has reportedly intensified its efforts in the case of the Réunionnais attacking midfielder, and an agreement has been reached between Payet and the club.
While Lille OSC demands 10 million euros for the transfer, Marseille has offered 7 or 8 million euros. Negotiations between the two clubs are currently underway, with an agreement likely to be reached in the coming hours.
At 26 years old, the French international is on the verge of joining Marseille, returning to the Champions League. Having previously played for Nantes, Saint-Étienne, and Lille, Payet is expected to elevate his game in Marseille. In the previous season, he played a key role in Lille, contributing with 12 goals and 12 assists.
If the transfer is completed, Marseille would boast an impressive offensive quartet including Ayew, Valbuena, Payet, and Gignac. This potential lineup, featuring the two best assist providers of the previous year, is generating excitement among Marseille supporters.
