Igor Paixão move set to break Olympique Marseille's transfer record
According to Voetbal International, if Igor Paixão's transfer to Olympique Marseille goes through, it will be one for the French history books. The Feyenoord winger is well on his way to the French giants for what looks like their record highest transfer fee. French newspaper L'Équipe delved into Marseille's transfer history, revealing that Paixão's transfer is a record-breaking move, both in terms of the initial fee and the total amount. The fixed fee is reportedly €30 million, while there will be an additional €5 million in bonuses. The record signing based on the starting fee was Dimitri Payet in 2017, when he joined from West Ham United for €29 million, plus €1 million in bonuses. Marseille's largest total was on Braga's Vitinha. The striker was acquired in January 2023 for €32 million (€25 million, plus €7 million). The other players in the top five are Mason Greenwood and Elye Wahi. The first was signed from Manchester United a year ago for €25 million plus €5 million in bonuses, while Wahi was acquired from RC Lens in the same packaged amount. Marseille's move for Paixão is just shy of Feyenoord's most expensive outgoing transfer in Santiago Gimenez. The Mexican striker joined AC Milan for €35 million, including bonuses. It's set to be a striking return for the Rotterdam club, who previously paid just €4.5 million for Paixão when he signed from Coritiba in 2022. GBeNeFN | Max Bradfield

Mercato: Ramiz Zerrouki returns to Twente on loan!
According to the terms of the deal, the 27-year-old midfielder joins Twente on loan until the end of the current season. This comeback follows a challenging spell for Zerrouki at Feyenoord, where his playing time was significantly reduced, affecting both his performance level and consistency on the pitch. By returning to his former club, Zerrouki hopes to reignite his career, regain his rhythm, and convince national team coach Vladimir Petkovic to bring him back into the Fennecs' plans ahead of the upcoming international fixtures. As a reminder, Ramiz Zerrouki shone in Twente colors before joining Feyenoord in the summer of 2023. He arrived then on a contract running until 2027, but never managed to secure a regular spot in the Rotterdam squad.

Hamza Igamane to Feyenoord 'leak' sparks Robin van Persie rage with Rangers alert to Lille confession
The boss in Rotterdam has been left irked by the murmurs over deals escaping the Feyenoord inner circle Rangers striker Hamza Igamane is on Feyenoord's shopping list - but the latest set of transfer murmurs around the Dutch giants has resulted in fury from boss Robin van Persie. The Scottish Premiership side have stood firm on their £15million valuation of the 22-year-old so far this summer amid ongoing interest from Lille - with Everton, Stade Rennes and Udinese also among the clubs on alert to a deal this summer. The Moroccan international has already agreed personal terms over a move but talks are deadlocked over the valuation of the Ibrox chiefs just a year on from his £1.7m move from AS FAR. But amid fears over a leak inside the Feyenoord camp after interest in Igamane and losing out on the signing of Valentin Gomez to Real Betis, the former Manchester United and Arsenal striker told VI: "What I personally find annoying, and I want to express this, is that quite a lot of things leak at Feyenoord. "I really hope Feyenoord supporters realise this; it hinders potential transfers. Because it simply hinders potential transfers. "That's happened several times now. I'm not saying that every scoop is spot on, because sometimes they're wrong, but it doesn't help the club. "That makes the job very difficult for Dennis te Kloese (technical director) for example. "Suppose we're working on a transfer together, and it leaks out too early, then the Feyenoord supporters who leak it have to take into account that this will have a negative impact on a potential transfer for their club. "That's something I think I hope we'll start thinking about more together. It's a very frustrating factor and it also hinders the process. Sometimes we just need a few days for things to calm down." The interest from the Netherlands comes with Lille playing a waiting game - with president Olivier Letang previously insisting the club were in no rush to deal done. And the bullish supremo has now moved to claim that the club are cash-rich at this stage - and have no need to sell their stars. He told La Voix Du Nord:"Even if nearly €25 million in revenue has vanished in the space of two years from TV we're in a good position. "We're probably going to have the fourth year in a row where we've had the best economic performance, while maintaining sporting momentum "It would take exceptional circumstances for one or two players to leave us; there won't be a fire sale, there's no open door at all. Our best marketing tool is to win matches, and the goal is for the team to remain as competitive as possible." Igamane was missing from the match day squad in the pre-season friendly clash with Middlesbrough after picking up a knock in Tuesday's 2-0 first leg victory over Panathinaikos. But boss Russell Martin is hopeful he will win the fitness race for the return fixture in Athens: "Hamza picked up a little injury on Tuesday night. "He missed a lot of pre-season, and he's been really trying hard to catch up fitness wise. 'He's got himself to a good place and then the other night, the intensity of the game coming on to that is not easy, but he's not going to be out for a long time. He's a big, strong boy and we hope to have him back on Wednesday night."
