The offer is a significant one, with Sunderland looking to strengthen their attack ahead of the Premier League's transfer window closure on Tuesday at 19h. Igor Paixão, who has a verbal agreement with Sunderland for a five-year contract, has expressed his desire to transfer to the English club. The 26-year-old has been absent from Olympique de Marselha's recent match against Monaco due to muscular fatigue, but it is clear that his focus is on securing a move to Sunderland.
Igor Paixão has already made a strong impression in his first season in France, scoring 20 goals in 42 games. He now sees this as the right time to take a step forward in his career and play in the Premier League. With the transfer window closing soon, Sunderland will be hoping to finalise the deal and secure the signing of the Brazilian striker.
