The newest controversy involving a soccer player has as protagonist the midfielder Dimitri Payetdo Vasco. According to the portal “Leo Dias”, the Frenchman, married for 18 years, betrayed the wife for seven months with lawyer Larissa Ferrari.
Payet has defended Vasco since August 2018 and moved alone to Brazil, while his wife followed in Europe, with the couple’s four children. The athlete would have met Larissa Ferrari on social networks.
After the story, neither Payet, nor the wife nor Vasco commented on the matter. Sporting News tells more about Larissa Ferrari.
Larissa Ferrari: Who is
Larissa Ferrari is Santa Catarina, lived in her home state when she was approached by Payet and cheered for Vasco even before she was with the midfielder. She claims to have met the player through social networks, through a “fake profile” used by him. According to her, even married at the time, she was sought by the player and returned the interest, since she had been having problems in her relationship and is a fan of Vasco.
– I am a vascaine since I was a child, despite being Santa Catarina, I have been with football since 2008. I was married and I was seven years married and hardly involved me (with football). Last year I had problems in my old relationship and started involving more in football, especially on Instagram. And then, one day, he called me for the fake profile, that he no longer uses, then he took my contact – commented Larissa, in an interview with “Portal Leo Dias”.

According to messages sent by her to the report, Larissa and Payet began to talk around August last year and met in September, when the relationship came to exist.
Shortly thereafter, Larissa finished her marriage and practically lived in Rio de Janeiro.
– Since I had left a bad relationship and he gets very alone in Rio, we were very involved. Something that would probably be different if he was living there (France). I was traveling, it was many days in Rio, at his house and then we ended up creating a bond – explained Larissa.
Larissa’s complaints about Payet
However, over the months, Larissa suspected that Payet would be inviting other friends to Vasco games with the distribution of courtesy tickets to which players are entitled to and the two had friction:
– A friend of mine, who knew I got involved with him, posted an Instagram print, not to mention him, of a ticket he won. We fought and he was very angry with me.

From these fights, the two had a relationship of “rounds and laps”. According to her, the extramarital relationship has not yet finished definitely, but she does not see future:
– Right now it’s no use looking at all this just with a feeling of passion or love because it also hurts me emotionally.
The most recent fight of the two took place last Friday (14/3), when Larissa claims to have had a “anxiety crisis” while traveling to Rio de Janeiro and the player did not go to his “rescue”:
– I traveled, I came back to Rio, and he literally “shit for me”. He was angry with me, I didn’t want to see me, then I was alone. I live at 1,500 kilometers from there (Rio de Janeiro), then I saw that I couldn’t continue this relationship, even though I really enjoyed it.
After the disclosure of the article, Larissa Ferrari spoke on her social networks and stressed that she received nothing from the “Portal Leo Dias” to tell the story:
– One thing I can say is that the relationship with him (Payet) has never been for money. Even the last time I went to Rio de Janeiro, I went by bus and got sick.
Payet: Until when you go to your contract with Vasco
Payet is 37 years old and his contract with Vasco only goes until June 30 this year. It is likely that the bond will not be expanded, as the player has lost space this season.
In 2025, Payet only started in two games. He has 12 matches this season, but leaving the bank in ten of them.
The Frenchman has not yet scored in 2025 and only assisted the year.
