Olympique de Marseille seeks €50m for Igor Paixao

Olympique de Marseille is reportedly seeking €50 million for Brazilian winger Igor Paixao, amid interest from clubs in the Saudi Pro League. While Marseille manager Bruno Genesio is keen to retain the player, the club faces financial pressures that may necessitate sales before the transfer window closes.

Leeds United has expressed renewed interest in the 26-year-old, who was their primary target last summer. However, a gap remains between the clubs regarding valuation; Leeds reportedly values the player at €35 million, while Marseille is holding firm at the €50 million mark. Paixao joined Marseille from Feyenoord last year for a club-record €30 million and contributed 12 goals during his most recent Ligue 1 campaign.
