French newspaper L’Equipe have fully flung themselves into the transfer rumour mill and their Monday edition has Dimitri Payet on the cover.
The link is to Marseille, and with the French club having new owners it’s suggested a huge transfer like bringing Payet back could be on the cards.
That potential transfer is priced at around €30m to €40, and L’Equipe say of the Marseille dream: ‘It is not impossible’
Despite the huge space given to the claims, the first two inside page of L’Equipe also cover it today, there doesn’t appear to be anything really concrete.
It’s already known that Marseille have more money now, it’s already known that Payet has previously spoken warmly about the French club, and it’s already known that West Ham United simply wouldn’t be keen to sell.
On a contract until June 2021, the power all belongs to West Ham, and there’s a possibility these L’Equipe claims are more about exciting Marseille fans, about possibilities under their new ownership, than anything else.
