Leeds United transfer pursuit of Igor Paixao

Overview

Leeds United’s pursuit of Brazilian winger Igor Paixão has intensified as the transfer window nears its deadline. While Marseille has previously sought approximately £42.7 million for the player, Leeds now faces new competition from Sunderland, who have reportedly reached a verbal agreement on personal terms with the 26-year-old.

Negotiations regarding Paixão remain complex, with Marseille having rejected initial proposals. Leeds has previously explored using goalkeeper Lucas Perri as leverage in discussions, given Marseille’s interest in the player, who joined Leeds from Lyon for £15.6 million.

In addition to the Paixão saga, Leeds is managing several other squad movements. Striker Joel Piroe continues to seek an exit, though his representatives maintain that the club’s £16 million valuation is “unrealistic” due to his limited playing time.

Furthermore, the club is in negotiations with Eintracht Frankfurt for goalkeeper Michael Zetterer. After initially showing hesitation regarding a backup role, Zetterer has reportedly had a “change of heart” following a visit to Leeds. The club has improved its offer for the 31-year-old, with the transfer fee estimated at approximately £4.3 million.
