According to reports, Leeds United's offer exceeds the €29 million bid made by Olympique Marseille, which Feyenoord had previously rejected. This suggests that Leeds United is willing to pay a premium to secure Paixao's services.
Igor Paixao joined Feyenoord in 2022 from Coritiba and has become a key player for the team. In 129 games, he has scored 39 goals and provided 23 assists. His impressive performance last season, scoring 18 goals and assisting 14 more in 47 games, has caught the attention of international fans. Paixao was also awarded the Man of the Match award in the UEFA Champions League against Sparta Prague and AC Milan.
Paixao remains under contract with Feyenoord until the summer of 2030.
