French giants Marseille are reportedly close to signing Brazilian winger Igor Paixao from Feyenoord.
GloboEsporte journalist Cahe Mota reports that Marseille have made a bid that is close to the just over €30million that the Dutch club is demanding for the winger.
Earlier this week reports claimed that Leeds United were in discussions to sign Feyenoord winger Igor Paixao as they continue their push for attacking reinforcements this summer.
The versatile Brazilian, who can play on both wings and as a No. 10, Paixao impressed last season with 16 goals and 14 assists in the Eredivisie, underlining his attacking threat.
While no formal bid has been submitted, Sky Sports News reported that here has been direct contact between Leeds and Feyenoord over a potential deal.
However, Feyenoord have indicated that Paixao may miss the start of the new season due to a muscle injury, which could affect the timing of any move.
Earlier this month we also reported of the interest from Nottingham Forest in Paixao ahead of the summer transfer window.
