Leeds United are pushing to get the signing of Feyenoord star Igor Paixao over the line.<\/strong><\/p>\n Whilst the Leeds fanbase began to panic after Paixao appeared to be on the verge of signing for Marseille, the 49ers<\/a> remained calm and now look ready to secure a blockbuster signing at Elland Road.<\/p>\n The left-wing position needs extra quality following the departure of Manor Solomon<\/a>, who rejoined his parent club, Tottenham, after inspiring Leeds to the title on the final day of the season.<\/p>\n Whilst many thought Solomon could simply not be replaced, the 49ers appear to have pulled a rabbit out of the hat when it comes to Paixao<\/a>. <\/p>\n Although the Whites already have multiple talented wingers on their books who have not been utilised correctly by Daniel Farke, like Largie Ramazani<\/a>, Paixao is still a welcome addition.<\/p>\n Strength in depth appears to be the strategy employed at Elland Road over the summer, with a severe lack of depth costing the Whites last time they were in the top flight.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n According to reports from Sky Sports<\/a> (26 July), Leeds are ready to pay \u00a328million plus add-ons for the Feyenoord winger.<\/p>\n It\u2019s understood that the clubs were not able to come to an agreement over Leeds\u2019 opening bid of \u00a326m, plus add-ons, but negotiations are ongoing for the Brazilian.<\/p>\n Marseille also remain in talks with the Dutch club, and Roma continue to monitor the situation, meaning United cannot afford to be complacent if they want to land their man. <\/p>\n After recording a phenomenal 16 goals and 10 assists in the Eredivisie last season, the signing of the Brazilian winger must be a priority, especially given the more than reasonable price.<\/p>\n Although the wingers at Farke\u2019s disposal already are some of the best players at the club, Paixao represents an upgrade on the likes of Willy Gnonto and Dan James<\/a>.<\/p>\n Whilst securing a new striker is arguably a pressing issue, Leeds must be ruthless and pounce upon any opportunity to bring a player of Paixao\u2019s quality to West Yorkshire.<\/p>\n This could be a huge moment of the summer.<\/p>\n![\"Manor](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1753573695_486_manor-solomon-1024x576.jpg\")
