Very strong against Strasbourg, did Igor Paixão play his last match with Olympique de Marseille last Friday? The 26-year-old Brazilian is one of the club’s big salaries, the very ones the staff wants to get rid of as quickly as possible, in order to relieve the payroll and satisfy the DNCG and UEFA.
But even if it means choosing, OM’s sports management would keep its Brazilian winger, more easily letting elements like Kondogbia, Balerdi or Hojbjerg leave. Especially since impactful offensive elements are rare in the squad. But he will probably resolve to see the Brazilian change his tune, which was not his priority.
Sunderland negotiates with OM
According to information from Sky SportsSunderland is currently trying to recruit Igor Paixão, and has already sent an offer to OM. Negotiations are underway between the two clubs. Obviously, Paixão is not the only option, because Sunderland is also discussing with Sporting CP for Mozambican winger Geny Catamo.
But the English team coached by Regis Le Bris, a good surprise last season with a 7th place, seems to favor the Paixão file, and absolutely wants to recruit a winger by the end of the summer market. After Greenwood, Aubameyang, Traoré, Medina, Rulli, Nadir, the big housecleaning could soon concern Paixão.
