The Olympique de Marseille continues its summer mercato with the arrival of a promising player: Igor Paixao. According to Le Parisien, the Phocéan club concluded a definitive agreement with Feyenoooord for the transfer of the Brazilian winger. The operation amounts to €35 million, including €30 million and €5 million in bonuses. Peaceao, 25 years old, is expected in Marseille on Tuesday for a medical visit before committing to five seasons. His arrival aims to strengthen the offensive sector of the team, which has already seen the arrival of several new players this summer, including Facundo Medina, Angel Gomes and C.J. Egan-Riley.

Igor Paixao had an exceptional season with Feyenoooord, where he played 47 games in all competitions. Trained at Coritiba FC in Brazil, he made a remarkable season with 18 goals and 15 assists. Its offensive impact was decisive in the European performance of the Dutch club, which reached the eighth final of the Champions League. His ability to evolve on both wings of the attack made him a valuable asset for coach Roberto De Zerbi, who sought to build a team that was both technical and dynamic.

This transfer represents an affirmation of the desire of the Olympique de Marseille to strengthen itself in the transfer market, targeting successful and experienced players, particularly in European competitions. If Tuesday’s medical visit is validated, Igor Paixao will become one of the most expensive transfers in the recent history of OM. This recruit is a strong signal of the club’s ambitions, which aspires to a return to the Champions League and a high-level performance in the coming season.
