Marseille expect Saudi Arabia approach for Igor Paixao

Marseille expect Saudi Arabia approach for Igor Paixao Everything must go in the Olympique de Marseille sale, even players that, ordinarily, they would like to retain. Brazilian winger Igor Paixao (26) falls into that category, and he could depart before the end of the transfer window, according to a report from  Foot Mercato ,  albeit not on the cheap.  Paixao was one of OM’s best performers last season, following his big-money move from Feyenoord. He has also performed well in pre-season and is a player that Bruno Genesio would like to build his team around. However, the decision is not his to make, and, as reported by  Get French Football News  earlier this summer, there is no Marseille player who isn’t available for the right price. Foot Mercato  now understands that OM are expecting interest from Saudi Arabia before the closure of the transfer window. However, the Brazilian won’t come cheap. Owner Frank McCourt has set a €50m price tag.  GFFN | Luke Entwistle
