Igor Paixao remains at OM after a tense finish to the window, with Bruno Genesio and sporting director Grégory Lorenzi instrumental in keeping him. The club’s shareholder had hoped to sell, yet the forward stays.

According to L'Équipe, Sunderland pursued the forward into the final hours before Marseille blocked a sale at the last moment.

He was with Genesio during OM-Strasbourg on 21 August, a 4-0 win.

In Marseille the finale evoked a sense of déjà vu, from one decade to another and from one Brazilian to another, recalling Matheus Doria.

That final case suddenly strained relations between the hierarchy and the coach.
