The former Feyenoord manager Rob Jacobs asked Liverpool to sign Igor Paixao and insisted that he would be upgrading to Cody Gakpo. Arne Slot signed the Brazilian for the Dutch outfit in August 2022 and he developed into one of her most important players.
The 24-year-old returned 11 goals and 15 templates from 38 appearances for Feyenoord this season and brought his total amount for the club to 32 goals and 25 assists from 120 excursions.

And Jacobs, who spent both a former Feyenoord player and the 1988/89 season for the club, insists that Paixao would make the red stronger.
And he even went so far that the Brazilian left is a better player than Gakpo, who has scored the best 16 goals for Liverpool this season.
“Then I’ll go to Paixao. I really think he makes Liverpool stronger,” he said 1908.nl. “Arne Slot should also enjoy his development.
“Gakpo is of course also a fantastic player and is doing well in Liverpool, but I think Paixao is better.
“It would not surprise me if Liverpool Feyenoord would report. Hey, 40 million or 50 million euros? You don’t get any excitement about it in England.
“He gets better every day. Incredibly targeted, he is the most dangerous man in Feyenoord. Really nothing but praise, he achieves great goals.
“It is not normal how he steps in this ball! So punish a mistake. Pure class. He was not for nothing in the pre-selection of Brazil, that is quite an elite club.”
