Brazil's Paixao promises 'big things' at Marseille unveiling
Brazil striker Igor Paixao was unveiled at Marseille on Monday as he vowed to deliver in Ligue 1 the form and ambition he showed at Feyenoord.
The 25-year-old scored 18 goals and provided 19 assists in 47 appearances in all competitions last season, before his 35 million euros ($40 million) switch to Marseille on a five-year deal.
After finishing runners-up to Paris Saint-Germain last year, Marseille will play in the Champions League in the upcoming campaign where Paixao can link up with former Manchester United star Mason Greenwood.
Paixao said he owed it to Marseille to give everything, and that this matched his ambition to make the Brazil squad for the 2026 World Cup.
"Marseille is a club with values. That's very important for me, for everyone. I want to give my all... It's a major responsibility and I think we're going to do big things," he said.
Paixao added he was inspired by former Marseille player Franck Ribery.
"With his dribbling, his goals, Ribery was an exceptional player, I will try to be like him, to be able to make history with this club," he said.
Paixao earned one Brazil under-23 cap in 2023.
