In a shocking turn of events, Brazilian winger Igor Paixão has officially terminated his contract with Dutch giants Feyenoord, paving the way for a surprise transfer to an unnamed Premier League club.
The 24-year-old forward, who played a key role in Feyenoord’s recent domestic and European campaigns, made the decision abruptly after receiving a last-minute offer from England. Sources close to the player suggest that the deal came together in a matter of days, prompting Paixão to activate a release clause and finalize his departure.
The Eredivisie side confirmed the news in a brief statement earlier today:
“Igor Paixão has decided to terminate his contract with immediate effect. We thank him for his contributions and wish him the best in the next chapter of his career.”
Though details regarding his destination remain undisclosed, multiple reports suggest that the player is set to undergo medical tests and sign a long-term deal with a mid-table Premier League club, with an official announcement expected in the coming hours.
Paixão joined Feyenoord in 2022 from Coritiba and quickly became a fan favorite thanks to his pace, dribbling skills, and attacking flair. His sudden exit leaves a gap in the Dutch side’s attacking lineup, just weeks before the start of the new season.
