Igor Paixão Transfer from Feyenoord to Aston Villa
Igor Paixão remains contracted to Feyenoord until mid-2029 and is garnering interest from several clubs, with Aston Villa showing particular eagerness to bring him to the Premier League. Reports from Rotterdam and England indicate that Aston Villa is actively pursuing his transfer. However, Feyenoord is reluctant to part with the player easily and is seeking a transfer fee that would surpass any in the club's history. Santiago Gimenez's transfer to AC Milan for 32 million currently stands as the club's record sale. Aston Villa seems willing to meet these demands, although the transfer is not yet close to completion. Paixão, who joined Feyenoord from Coritiba in the summer of 2022, has become a crucial player for the team. With a contract that extends for another four years, Feyenoord holds a strong position in negotiations. Paixão had an impressive season, netting 18 goals and providing 19 assists in 47 matches.
Igor Paixao, a 24-year-old Brazilian forward, has revitalized his career at Feyenoord, scoring 14 goals and providing 13 assists this season. His performance has attracted interest from the Premier League, with Aston Villa moving for him.
Igor Paixao has impressed scouts from Aston Villa, as well as those from Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham, West Ham, and Roma, with his performances at Feyenoord. No talks or offers have been made yet, but Aston Villa has shown interest in the player. The potential transfer fee is around €30-35 million, which aligns with the valuations considered by other interested clubs. At 24, Paixao is seen as a player capable of making a step up to a more competitive league soon.
