Sunderland ‘reopen talks’ with Marseille over Igor Paixão | OneFootball

Sunderland are said to have re-established contact with Olympique de Marseille over a move for Igor Paixão, according to GetFootballNewsFrance.com.

Discussions are understood to be centred on a package worth around €40m including bonuses, a figure that is said to align with owner Franck McCourt’s demands.

Marseille need to raise significant funds and could benefit from selling the left winger.

Paixão, 26, reportedly sustained an injury on the opening day of the Ligue 1 season against RC Strasbourg Alsace, a 4-0 win, and was absent for Sunday’s 2-0 defeat to AS Monaco.

The Brazilian joined from Feyenoord last summer in a €30m deal and delivered a strong 2025-26 campaign for Marseille, scoring 12 goals and supplying seven assists in 42 appearances across all competitions.
