<\/p>\n<p> Sat 26 July 2025 21:31, UK <\/p>\n<p><strong>Leeds United are pushing to get the signing of Feyenoord star Igor Paixao over the line.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Whilst the Leeds fanbase began to panic after Paixao appeared to be on the verge of signing for Marseille, the <a href=\"https:\/\/motleedsnews.com\/owners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">49ers<\/a> remained calm and now look ready to secure a blockbuster signing at Elland Road.<\/p>\n<p>The left-wing position needs extra quality following the <a href=\"https:\/\/motleedsnews.com\/news\/manor-solomon-reacts-as-leeds-united-agree-new-contract-with-forward\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">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<p>Whilst many thought Solomon could simply not be replaced, the <a href=\"https:\/\/motleedsnews.com\/transfers\/leeds-united-close-in-on-saturday-deal-to-finalise-mega-igor-paixao-transfer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">49ers appear to have pulled a rabbit out of the hat when it comes to Paixao<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" loading=\"lazy\"

Leeds\u2019 best players last season (Credit: Imago)<strong>Leeds in pole position to beat Marseille and Roma to Paixao deal<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Although the Whites already have multiple talented wingers on their books who have <a href=\"https:\/\/motleedsnews.com\/opinion\/largie-ramazani-stuns-in-pre-season-after-what-he-said-about-farke-call-out-at-leeds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">not been utilised correctly by Daniel Farke, like Largie Ramazani<\/a>, Paixao is still a welcome addition.<\/p>\n<p>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<p>According to reports from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skysports.com\/football\/live-blog\/11095\/12476234\/transfer-centre-live-football-transfer-news-updates-and-rumours?postid=9940654#liveblog-body\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sky Sports<\/a> (26 July), Leeds are ready to pay \u00a328million plus add-ons for the Feyenoord winger.<\/p>\n<p>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<p>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<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" loading=\"lazy\"

be a fantastic addition to Farke\u2019s squad (Credit: Imago)<strong>Leeds must secure the signing of Paixao<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>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<p>Although the wingers at Farke\u2019s disposal already are some of the best players at the club, Paixao represents an <a href=\"https:\/\/motleedsnews.com\/news\/dan-james-deserves-new-contract-at-leeds-united-as-ayling-sends-message\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">upgrade on the likes of Willy Gnonto and Dan James<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>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<p>This could be a huge moment of the summer.<\/p>\n<p>Sign up for the <a
