Igor Paixao wife hints at Leeds United move as winger linked with Marseille exit | OneFootball

Igor Paixao is back on Leeds United’s radar, and an Instagram post by his wife has stoked talk of a summer departure from Marseille.

According to Leedsunited.news, Leeds had a £30m offer accepted by Feyenoord last year, but Paixao waited for Marseille to match it and opted for the Ligue 1 club instead.

In France he returned 19 goal contributions in 42 appearances, yet Marseille are open to his exit this summer. Leeds have revisited the possibility, and he is said to be around third on their shortlist.

Paixao’s wife posted a story in French saying the city would remain in her heart forever, alongside a panoramic shot of Marseille, which has been read as a farewell hint.

Meanwhile a supporter noted a private jet arriving at Leeds Bradford Airport from Rotterdam at 7:21pm, with Marseille currently based in Rotterdam for pre-season. It may be coincidence, but momentum appears to be edging towards a move away from Marseille, and a switch to Elland Road cannot be ruled out.
