Igor Paixao camp eye next transfer amid Leeds United latest

Igor Paixao's future remains up in the air after interest from Leeds United last summer.

The Brazilian emerged as a firm target for the Whites after their promotion to the Premier League.

That was hardly a surprise after he put up 34 goal involvements with Feyenoord the year before.

A move to Elland Road was firmly on the table, but he ultimately decided to join Marseille instead.

A Ligue 1 departure could now be on the cards as MOT Leeds News has covered new links for Paixao at Leeds.

Igor Paixao representatives eye new move

There have been tentative rumours surrounding the 26-year-old and a move to Yorkshire this summer.

That has been questioned by many who are unsure why the Whites would go back in for him after being rejected just 12 months ago.

Paixao did go to France, scored 12 and assisted six as he once again showcased his quality in front of goal.

That makes it all the more surprising that he could be on the move again this summer, though Marseille's reported need to sell players to comply with UEFA spending parameters is likely a factor.

Leeds Live journalist Isaac Johnson reported on Saturday that the forward's camp are "keeping an eye on market opportunities" right now.

The Elland Road outfit are unlikely to make a move at this stage and haven't made any contact with his camp at this stage.

Paixao could still become an option for Leeds, but certain dominoes would have to fall before that happens.

What could prompt Leeds United to sign Paixao?

It certainly appears that attacking reinforcements are on the cards for Daniel Farke this summer.

He has already brought in Harry Wilson on a free transfer in what is being viewed as a real coup in LS11.

It's clear that the Whites aren't done there as Julian Brandt has also been linked with a move after his contract expired at Borussia Dortmund.

The German is being tracked by a whole host of sides, which may not go in Leeds' favour.

That could see them take advantage of the Paixao situation as the door appears to be open ajar to seal his signature right now.

He could prove to be an ideal option as Farke would know exactly what to expect after strong links last summer.

If both Leeds and Paixao's representatives get desperate, could a transfer be on the cards for later in the window?
