Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer news and rumours, including Igor Paixao to Leeds United, Jens Cajuste to Burnley and Japhet Tanganga’s Millwall future.
Leeds have reportedly submitted an £26m bid for Feyenoord winger Igor Paixao.
The 25-year-old is attracting significant transfer interest after impressing with his performances during the 2024-25 campaign.
Paixao scored 16 goals and provided 14 assists in 34 Eredivisie performances, with only Twente’s Sem Steijn registering more goal contributions.
Leeds are among the clubs that have been linked with a move for a player who is under contract until the summer of 2029.
According to Sky Sports News, the newly-promoted side have now submitted an offer in excess of £26m for the Brazilian attacker.
Marseille have been working to agree a £26m deal for Paixao, but they have been unable to make a breakthrough in negotiations.
While Leeds is understood to be a similar offer, the Premier League club are believed to be willing to offer more in add-ons.
Daniel Farke’s side may also face competition from Roma, who have registered an interest in signing the Feyenoord star.
Burnley eyeing Cajuste move
Elsewhere, Burnley are reportedly interested in signing Napoli midfielder Jens Cajuste.
The Sweden international is back at Napoli after spending last season on loan at Ipswich Town, where he made 33 appearances in all competitions.
Despite being relegated to the Championship, Ipswich are understood to be keen to bring Cajuste back to Portman Road.
However, Besiktas have also shown a strong interest in the 25-year-old, while Burnley have now entered the race for his signature.
According to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, Burnley have made enquiries about the details of a potential deal for Cajuste.
The report describes Burnley’s interest as ‘genuine’ and ‘concrete’, with the Clarets looking for further reinforcements ahead of their Premier League return.
Milwall reject Tanganga transfer offer
Meanwhile, in the Championship, Millwall appear to be battling to retain the services of former Tottenham defender Japhet Tanganga.
As per Sky Sports News, the Lions have rejected a €3m (£2.6m) bid for Tanganga from Hellas Verona in Serie A.
Verona were willing to offer the 26-year-old a four-year deal to make the move to Italy this summer.
It is currently unclear whether Verona will return with an improved bid, or if they will turn their attention to other defensive targets.
Tanganga is believed to have a £1.5m release in his contract, with the caveat of only being available to Premier League clubs.
The Tottenham academy product has made 64 competitive appearances since he joined Millwall in January 2024.
