Olympique de Marseille is activated in all directions for its summer transfer window, but for the moment, the Phocaeans are struggling to recruit heavy (apart from Angel Gomes, CJ Egan-Riley and Facundo Medina), despite the Challenge of the Champions League. The Olympians do not let go of the matter however and to strengthen their left wing, following the departure of Luis Henrique at Inter, they targeted Igior Peaceão.
The 25 -year -old Brazilian international winger comes out of a great 2024/2025 season with Feyenoord (18 goals, 19 assists in 45 games) and was priority by Medhi Benatia. The Marseille interest had obviously seduced the player since we had revealed to you exclusively that the two parties had reached an agreement. It remained to convince Feyenoord. Not easy, because the Dutch club claims no less than 40 M € for the Brazilian.
The threat of the Premier League
Things seemed to go in the right direction, however, since the player's father, José Peaceão had gone to the Marseille city in mid-July. Good news followed by a cold shower. “Igor Peaceão suffers from muscle injury and will have to get back in shape for several weeks. The winger will therefore miss the start of the 2025-26 season with Feyenoord. Peaceão was injured in training last Thursday and was therefore forced to miss the friendly match against the Royal Union Saint-Gilloise ”Feyenoord announced on July 14. What to cool the Marseille interest? A priori not.
However, the Yorkshire Evening Post reveals that OM received another bad news in this file. Leeds contacted the entourage of Igor Peaceão to present his project to him. The English media does not specify if the player's clan went to England to visit the Peacocks facilities, but the training promoted in the Premier League would dream at a new blow to the Raphinha. In addition, it should be noted that Leeds does not have the C1 challenge to be proposed, but has significant financial means and offers the player's possibility to evolve in the largest world championship. Case to follow.
