Feyenoord\u2019s Brazilian forward Igor Paixao could soon be on his way to the Premier League amid interest from the English top flight.<\/p>\n
Leeds United<\/a><\/strong> are among the clubs \u2018explicitly enquiring\u2019 about Paixao\u2019s availability according to reports in the Netherlands, where the has been playing for the Rotterdam club since moving from Brazil in 2022.<\/p>\n The former Coritiba star, who can play in a number of attacking positions and offers flexibility for teams that play either with wingers or with demands that forwards run the channels, is understood to be a realistic target for Daniel Farke\u2019s newly promoted Leeds as well as Premier League rivals Brighton & Hove Albion<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n According to\u00a0Algemeen Dagblad<\/a>, Feyenoord have confirmed interest in the player from the Premier League and Marseille but no concrete approach has yet been made.<\/p>\n \u201cAt Feyenoord, they know that Paixao can be plucked away by an interested club after a season with impressive individual figures in terms of playing time, goals and assists,\u201d reports AD.<\/p>\n \u201cBut [they] will want to see a hefty transfer fee in return, reportedly [expecting] at least 40 million euros for the attacker who of course does not have to leave De Kuip at all.\u201d<\/p>\n The 24-year-old is believed to have four years left on his Feyenoord contract, putting the club in a position of relative strength when it comes to negotiations. However, a demand of less than \u00a340 million is unlikely to deter Leeds if they\u2019re a serious bidder for Paixao.<\/p>\n He was called up for Brazil\u2019s senior national team squad for the first time in February, a significant reward for a noteworthy third season in the Eredivisie.<\/p>\n Paixao operated mostly as a winger for a Feyenoord team that finished third at the end of a fairly turbulent campaign that saw head coach Brian Priske\u2019s forward options decimated and results falling short of expectations at one of the Netherlands\u2019 leading clubs.<\/p>\n MORE LEEDS UNITED COVERAGE ON F365\u2026<\/strong>
