Leeds United seeks to sign Igor Paixao for £42.7m

Leeds United has reopened negotiations for winger Igor Paixao after missing out on Julian Brandt, who signed with Ajax. Reports indicate that Leeds values Paixao at around £29.9 million, while Marseille’s owner is seeking approximately £42.7 million. Leeds United is concurrently pursuing goalkeeper James Trafford for £45 million, raising questions about their budget for attacking reinforcements. If an agreement cannot be reached with Marseille, Leeds may look at other, less expensive options. Paixao's performance last season has made him a target for the team as they aim to enhance their attacking depth.
