Sunderland and Marseille winger Igor Paixão are said to have reached a verbal agreement, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano. The transfer talks continue, with the goal of finalizing the deal between the clubs. Marseille had initially rejected an offer from Sunderland, but negotiations persist. Born in Macapá, Brazil, Paixão joined Marseille from Feyenoord for €30 million last summer.
The player had a successful debut season in France, scoring six goals and providing six assists in 30 Ligue 1 matches. However, as Marseille faces the task of reducing its wage bill to comply with UEFA and FIFA requirements, they may consider selling Paixão, one of the club's most marketable players.
