Atletico, Newcastle keen on Payet

Atletico Madrid and Newcastle are among sides showing interest in Marseille midfielder Dimitri Payet, Estadio Deportivo has suggested.

Despite playing an important role in Marcelo Bielsa’s side, the France international is expected to leave Stade Velodrome this summer seeing as his high wage is proving to be a burden on the club’s budget.

And it appears Payet will have no shortage of offers in the summer transfer window, given that some of Europe’s top sides are vying for his signature.

While Newcastle are reportedly readying an €8 million proposal, the likes of Atletico Madrid, Sevilla, Fiorentina and Wolfsburg are hot on his trail as well.

Dimitri Payet, 28, has been in scintillating form this season, scoring 6 goals and producing 12 assists in 29 Ligue 1 outings.

Marseille fans will be hoping for their star player to produce another excellent showing when OM host title rivals PSG on Sunday evening, where the hosts are 11/5 to emerge victorious.
