Pay attention to all Europe! Marseilleho spent 35 million euros to lock in the Brazilian demon front, Eredivisie data king landed in Ligue 1

4:08am, 3 August 2025【Football】

According to the report on August 2, Feyenoord's official official finally announced that Brazil's winger Pai Su officially joined Marseille, with a total transfer fee of 35 million euros, directly breaking the Marseille team's history signing record. You know, this old French Ligue 1 family didn't spend so much money in the past. The previous bid was Vitinia (32 million euros), and this time the direct increase is enough to see how high Marseille's expectations for the Party Cultivator are.

But the question is, is this money worth it?

Look at the data first. Last season, Pai Su scored 37 goals (18 goals and 19 assists) in Feyenoord, averaging 4.2 times per game. He was the first breakthrough player in the Eredivisie and was a perfect thigh on the wing. Moreover, he can not only break through and pass, but also return to defense, which fully meets the requirements of modern football for wingers. Marseille coach Garset obviously took his versatility and planned to let him play on the left-wing explosive point, and may even push the team to change the team 3-4-3. However, the intensity of the Ligue 1 confrontation is much higher than that of the Dutch Eredivisie. Whether the small body of Pai Shu's 1.68 meters can withstand it still has to be questioned.

Look at the comparison of the transfer market, 35 million euros, in the Premier League, it may be the single signing budget for a relegation team (for example, Nottingham Forest just spent 40 million euros to buy Endoye), but for Marseille, this is already the result of gritting his teeth and spending money. More importantly, they defeated Leeds United, which had a higher offer this time, and Paixiu himself valued Marseille's competitive planning more and chose Ligue 1. However, there are many "hidden costs" behind this transaction Feyenoord sets a step-by-step liquidated damages clause, and the broker has to pay a commission of 15%. Marseille may actually pay more money than on the books.

What's more subtle is that there is another "king-level" signing in Marseille now. Manchester United abandoned Greenwood, which is also at the 30 million euro level. If Saudi teams spend money on Greenwood in the future, Manchester United can still share 50% of the transfer fee, which means that Paixiu's title of "the most expensive team history" may be refreshed soon. Moreover, Marseille has used up 40% of the summer window budget this time. If you want to strengthen it, you may have to make careful calculations.

Vivi Observation Brief Comment:

After all, Marseille's buying of patriotic revisions this time was both a big bet and a helpless move. It is becoming increasingly difficult for Ligue 1 teams to compete with the Premier League and Saudi Arabia in the transfer market, and they can only target top students in the "secondary league" such as the Dutch Eredivisie and the Portuguese Super League. There is no doubt about the ability of the school cultivator, but whether he can continue his performance in a higher intensity league depends on actual testing. If he can play out, Marseille's hope of qualifying for the Champions League will be much greater; but if the environment is not adapted, the deal may become a financial burden.

The pressure is all about Paixiu now, and Marseille fans can wait to watch him perform.
