“I am “Marseillais à Vie”.
I will play here until my last strength, I will finish my career in this club because I love this club and I feel at home here.
And what I live here, I will not find it anywhere else, ”wrote Dimitri Payet, in an Instagram post on Tuesday.
Via this message, the playmaker and best player of Olympique de Marseille, swept away the rumors of departure.
The Tigres club in Mexico, where André-Pierre Gignac and Florian Thauvin had gone after their spell in Marseille, has expressed its interest in bringing in the current number 10 of OM in recent days.
Already "Marseillais for life" two years ago
The 35-year-old player, under contract until 2024 with OM, came second in L1 this season.
"I tell myself that I made the best choice of my career by signing for life in this club, in my club", he added, addressing "one last time" to "those who have not misunderstood or for those who still doubt it.
Two years ago, the number 10 already called himself "Marseillais for life" and had agreed to significantly lower his salary to extend until 2024 in a club with fragile finances and prepare for his retraining there.
He will be 37 in 2024.
