Igor Paixao: A Bold Gamble for OM's Attack?

The transfer market is still buzzing, and not just a little! Igor Paixao, the Brazilian winger from Feyenoord, remains a major target for our OM, despite his injury and his return to Brazil. So, is this a real coup or a risky operation? Let's break it down together.

An agreement already reached with Paixao, but…

To start with, it must be emphasized: OM already has the player's agreement. Yes, you read that right, Paixao has given the green light to come and settle on the Canebière. That's no small feat, especially given the profile De Zerbi is looking for to energize the wings. But let's be honest, this deal is far from finalized.

Paixao is currently injured, a muscle injury that has pushed him to return to Brazil. We know injuries can be off-putting, but the Phocean management seems determined to bet on him nonetheless. What do you think: good idea or unnecessary risk?

Leeds ready to play spoilsport

Of course, when a player of this caliber is on the market, it's not just OM that is interested. Leeds United, relegated to the Championship but solidly structured, is starting to show interest. Although for now, only OM has made a concrete offer to Feyenoord, the arrival of Leeds could change everything: we know that English clubs often have strong financial arguments.

In your opinion, will the management have to break the bank to stay in the race? Or will Paixao favor the Marseille project? Tell us in the comments what you expect from this upcoming negotiation!

Upcoming negotiations with Feyenoord: Time is running out

The agreement with the player is good, but Feyenoord still needs to be convinced. Here, everything will hinge on the transfer fee. The more Leeds shows interest in the case, the higher the price is likely to climb. And we all know that OM doesn't have unlimited resources this season either.

Timing will be crucial: if OM drags its feet, Paixao could slip away elsewhere. A quick transfer would be ideal for integrating him into De Zerbi's preparations, even if his fitness remains an unknown. Are we taking the bet together? Or are you the cautious type when it comes to this deal?

And now, it's over to you!

So friends, are you intrigued by Igor Paixao's profile? Ready to wait for him to regain his fitness, or do you find the risk too high? We're waiting for your opinions and analyses in the comments. Because that's also what our OM is about: debating, dreaming… and sometimes worrying together!
