Leeds are attempting to complete a sensational swoop for Feyenoord talent Igor Paixao. <\/strong><\/p>\n The Whites\u2019 interest has been reported for weeks, but French club Marseille had looked to be leading the race for the Brazilian winger. <\/p>\n But with the Ligue 1 outfit struggling to agree a fee with Feyenoord, Leeds appear to have made their move.<\/p>\n Transfer activity at Elland Road<\/a> has exploded into life in recent days, with Anton Stach\u2019s arrival from Hoffenheim being confirmed, and goalkeeper Lucas Perri set to join from Lyon.<\/a><\/p>\n Paixao could now be next.<\/p>\n According to Feyenoord Transfermarkt<\/a> (24 July), Leeds have now made official contact with the Dutch club with an opening offer worth around \u00a330million.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The bid, according to the outlet, already dwarves Marseille\u2019s highest offer and indicates a \u201cserious attempt\u201d to sign Paixao.<\/a><\/p>\n The winger is yet to agree personal terms with the Premier League club, but sources close to the negotiations say the situation is \u201cdeveloping rapidly.\u201d<\/p>\n \ud83c\udde7\ud83c\uddf7\u26a1\ufe0f Igor Paix\u00e3o vs Eredivisie Wingers <\/p>\n \ud83e\udd47 NPG+A \u2013 1st \ud83d\udc68\u200d\ud83d\udcbc Top 7 League\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/cmTW6Uh4Ri<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 DataMB (@DataMB_) July 19, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n View Tweet<\/p>\n Paixao would be a major coup for Leeds<\/strong><\/p>\n Paixao was among Europe\u2019s most productive wingers last season. <\/p>\n The Brazilian scored a jaw-dropping 18 goals and provided 19 assists in all competitions for Feyenoord, with seven of those contributions coming in the Champions League. <\/p>\n As Leeds<\/a> fans would be happy to admit, his arrival at Elland Road<\/a> would be seen as a major coup for the newly-promoted side.<\/p>\n Mainly a left-sided winger, Paixao can often be seen drifting into the middle of the pitch to unleash deadly long-ranged strikes on his right foot.<\/p>\n Paixao has thrived in the Netherlands<\/p>\n But the Brazilian is also a hugely accomplished dribbler and is happy to drive to the by-line, often beating his man to set up a teammate. <\/p>\n For Leeds, Paixao would <\/a>likely line up on the left side, with Wilfried Gnonto or Daniel James taking their place on the right.<\/p>\n Joel Piroe would be just one of the players to benefit from the winger\u2019s arrival, with Brenden Aaronson also sure to enjoy linking up with the possible star signing. <\/p>\n Paixao would be just the latest signing<\/a> that will surely fill Leeds fans with confidence ahead of their Premier League return, with Elland Road set to welcome several new players over the coming weeks.<\/p>\n Sign up for the\u00a0MOT Leeds News WhatsApp channel<\/a>\u00a0and turn on notifications to have all the latest, breaking Leeds United news sent straight to your phone.<\/p>\n Related Posts<\/p>\n ![\"Lucas](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Lucas-Perri-1-1024x576.jpg\")
