Controversies surrounding payets move back to marseille - See the only reason Westham allowed him go

Payet completes his move back to marseille

West Ham only allowed Dimitri Payet complete his move to Marseille, after he paid back his January salary, according to Sky Sports.
The France midfielder was on a £125,000-a-week deal and had to pay back £500,000 to the Hammers.

Payet signed a five-year deal just 12 months ago and was given a £1m loyalty bonus in September.

Payet was sold to Marseille for £25m, after he told the club that he would never play for them.
West Ham co-owner David Sullivan has issued a statement, in which he said the midfielder of lack of respect for the club.

He said: “The club would like to place on record its sincere disappointment that Dimitri Payet did not show the same commitment and respect to West Ham United that the club and fans showed him, particularly when it rewarded him with a lucrative new five-and-half-year deal only last year.”

West Ham have announced that fans can trade in their shirts with Payet’s name on the back and get a new one for a discounted £25.

“Morning, bring back your Payet shirt to any of the club shops & you will get a new replacement for £25,” vice-chairman Lady Karren Brady tweeted.
