Despite its two consecutive draws, OM remains second in Ligue 1. What for ? "Qualifying [for the Champions League] is good, playing it is better," warned Dimitri Payet on Tuesday, worried that Olympique de Marseille will not get stronger enough if it reaches the Champions League. Meanwhile, OM faces Saint-Etienne this Wednesday evening (9 p.m.).
"If it is not to have the strength to play the Champions League in good conditions, I will wonder if I should go look elsewhere," added the OM playmaker, who admits that the subject worries her "a lot. "

- Marseille Olympique (@OM_Officiel) February 4, 2020Closely monitored by UEFA's financial fair play, OM will have to reduce its deficit to a maximum of 30 million euros this season. The accounts for the previous year, published this weekend, show a hole of 91.5 million euros. The club may be forced to sell players to balance the situation.
"The season we are going to attract lusts"
Dimitri Payet did not speak of the transfer window to its president Jacques-Henri Eyraud, "but it is not an exceptional reflection, he adds, it is just common sense. The season we are in the process of attracting lust. If it's to sell the best players, it's hard to play the Champions League. ”
Coach André Villas-Boas had already explained to the press that he did not want to “do tourism” in C1 if OM, current 2nd in Ligue 1, qualified there. "I did not want to do politics or put pressure," said the Portuguese later.
