Lassine Sinayoko, the Malian forward of AJ Auxerre, is set to leave the Burgundy club. Although his contract runs until June 2026, Auxerre’s management knows it will be challenging to keep their offensive gem, who scored 5 goals and provided 9 assists in 34 Ligue 1 appearances this season. After known interest from Olympique de Marseille, several German clubs are now making moves to secure the Malian international’s services. Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt appears to lead the race, having already submitted an offer of around €8 million.
This situation highlights Lassine Sinayoko’s rise as a versatile and effective attacker, able to make an impact in a demanding league like Ligue 1. His ability to create chances and his scoring sense were crucial to Auxerre’s survival this season. At just 25, his future seems to be pointing towards a top European club, where he can step up and compete in the Champions League, which Eintracht Frankfurt is set to participate in soon.
The summer transfer window promises to be decisive for Auxerre, but it’s clear that Lassine Sinayoko will soon be packing his bags. His excellent Ligue 1 season combined with his physical and technical profile opens doors to elite European football. Whether the Bundesliga will be his next destination or if another major club will alter the plans remains to be seen.
