Palmeiras is interested in signing 25-year-old Brazilian winger Igor Paixão this summer to strengthen its attack and meet the requests of coach Abel Ferreira. According to a report, there are currently no negotiations. Palmeiras anticipates a difficult situation for the player, who joined Olympique de Marseille from Feyenoord for €35 million. Marseille is not a seller at the moment and could ask for €45 million. This price was reportedly set to deter interested clubs.
The player, who has one cap for the Brazil U23 team, also likes being in Europe and wants to continue his career on the continent. Several Premier League clubs, including Arsenal and Liverpool, have also been associated with him. In April 2026, it was reported that Arsenal was preparing a €35 million offer plus bonuses. Paixão's current Transfermarkt market value is €35.00m.
