Olympique de Marseille accelerates on the transfer market. After several weeks of negotiations with Feyenoord, the Marseille club touches the goal for one of its summer priorities. Negotiations around Igor Peaceão, a 24 -year -old Brazilian winger have crossed a decisive course in recent hours. OM is preparing to pay 35 million euros, bonus included, to attach the services of this Eredivisie nugget. Which would be a record for a defector among the vice-champions of France.
Igor Peaceão, Priority of Zerbi
This operation represents a record investment for the Marseille management, which no longer hesitates to compete with the major European clubs. Peaceão shone the past season with Feyenoord, counting 18 achievements and 19 assists in all competitions. His performances in the Champions League have particularly attracted Roberto de Zerbi, who sees in him the ideal profile to energize his attacking sector.
The Brazilian international has remarkable technical qualities. Its top speed, its precision of the left foot and its constant activity without balloon corresponds perfectly to the tactical requirements of the Italian coach. In the 4-2-3-1 system privileged by De Zerbi, Peaceão should occupy the left corridor, a position left vacant after the departure of Luis Henrique to the A.
Paixao, the biggest bet of the Longoria era.
A deal that says a lot about OM's ambitions
Beyond its sporting qualities, this recruit illustrates the new Marseille ambitions. By making such a financial effort, OM demonstrates its desire to constitute a workforce capable of competing in Ligue 1 and in the European Cup. At 24, Peaceão still has a significant margin of progression, making it a promising investment.
The Brazilian is expected to initial a five -year contract until 2030. His official arrival could take place in the coming days, just before the start of serious things in preparation phases.
