AS Roma battling Leeds and Marseille for Igor Paixao | OneFootball

AS Roma have joined the race to sign Feyenoord winger Igor Paixao this summer (h/t journalist Gianluca Di Marzio).

Marseille have agreed personal terms with the Brazilian winger on a five-year deal, but their €28 million offer has been rejected.

Leeds United have also tabled an offer for Paixao, but the transfer race is wide open.

Roma have now entered the fray, with manager Gian Piero Gasperini prioritising a new winger to bolster the attack.

The Giallorossi are confident that they can meet the Dutch club’s €30m valuation following the sales of Enzo Le Fee, Leandro Paredes, Tammy Abraham and Nicola Zalewski.

Paixao had a prolific 2024/25 campaign, bagging 18 goals and 19 assists in all competitions.

He caught wider attention with his stellar performances against Manchester City, Benfica and AC Milan in the Champions League.

The Brazilian can explode and take his game to another level under Gasperini, who has developed some of the finest talents at Atalanta.

Roma are also monitoring Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Fabio Silva as a potential target.

Wolves are planning to cash in on the Portuguese star, who has drawn up suitors following his impressive loan stint at Las Palmas last season.

The 23-year-old’s contract at Molineux runs out next summer, and he is valued at around €20m.

Roma have signed Evan Ferguson on loan from Brighton & Hove Albion. He adds to a formidable attacking line-up containing Artem Dovbyk, Stephan El Shaarawy, Paulo Dybala and Matias Soule.

They have also signed Moroccan midfielder Neil El Aynaoui and are working on the deals for Flamengo full-back Wesley and Hellas Verona centre-back Daniele Ghilardi.
