Walid Acherchour considers the recruitment of Igor Paixão by the Olympique de Marseille as a positive blow, despite the high cost of the operation. The Brazilian winger, highly sought after by Leeds United, was a priority for the Marseille club, in perfect harmony with Roberto De Zerbi’s tactical choices. Acherchour highlights this player’s potential, while stressing that he will have to prove his value in a demanding Marseille context. He salutes the action of the Olympian leaders, who managed to capture the player despite the fierce competition of Leeds United and the resistance of the Feyenoord Rotterdam.

Although Acherchour did not have the opportunity to observe Peaceão live, he inquired about his profile and remains measured in his evaluation. He recalls that the player has already evolved in the Champions League under the leadership of renowned coaches, which attests to his level. The journalist points out that OM, after sometimes making missed investment choices, cannot afford Peaceão to meet its expectations and impose itself as a key player.

Regarding the transfer price, Acherchour acknowledges that it is high, but that it is consistent with the realities of the current market. He insists that this acquisition is crucial for OM, which must now demonstrate its ability to identify and recruit quality players. The hope is that Paixão will make a significant contribution to the team and justify the investment made, as part of a more successful recruitment policy for the club.
