Report: Leeds United considering move for €50m-rated forward

Leeds United are considering a move for Marseille winger Igor Paixao as they look to upgrade their attack ahead of the Premier League season. Fussball Daten, citing Foot Mercato, reports the Brazilian is on Leeds’ shortlist and that talks have already begun with his representatives. Daniel Farke is said to be keen on signing the 26-year-old, but the transfer fee is the main sticking point. Marseille value Paixao at about €50 million, while Leeds estimate his market worth between €30 million and €35 million, leaving a wide gap to negotiate. Paixao remains under contract with Marseille until 2030.
