Leeds have been heavily linked with Igor Paixao throughout the transfer window.
The 25-year-old winger has impressed in the Netherlands for Feyenoord.
Last season, Paixao picked up 26 goals contributions in 34 Eredivisie matches.
As a result, Leeds have been keen to add Paixao to strengthen their attack.
Now, the transfer saga has developed further as the new Premier League season edges closer.

Alongside Leeds United, French giants Marseille have also been in the race for the Brazilian.
It is set to be a close battle between the two sides, as the race for the winger heats up.
Now, according to Sky Sports (23 July), Feyenoord have received a bid around £26 million for the winger from the Ligue 1 side.
Paixao has an amazing 2024/25 campaign
However, nothing has been agreed, and Leeds believe that Marseille are currently struggling to satisfy Feyenoord’s demands.
As a result, the Yorkshire club have since met with the Dutch side’s representatives but a formal offer is yet to be made.
Leeds have done the groundwork on the deal, having previously met with Paixao’s representatives.

Given the ability and the potential Paixao has, Farke has to go all out to sign the Brazilian.
There is clearly a gap that Leeds can exploit in negotiations between Feyenoord and Marseille, and the Yorkshire club have to use this to their advantage.
Paixao has the ability to keep the Peacocks in the Premier League and would revolutionise their attack.
These are the type of players that Leeds have to make this window, and given the recent developments, there is absolutely no excuse not to seal the signing.
Hopefully, a bid will now be made in the coming days to ensure Paixao is one step closer to becoming the latest new signing at Elland Road.
