Guinean prospect Ousmane Sylla nears AJ Auxerre move after renewed talks

AJ Auxerre moves closer to securing Guinean midfielder Ousmane Freeman Sylla after fresh discussions between the French club and the Antonio Souaré Football Academy.

Auxerre scouts continue to admire his progress, and both sides now work on the final steps of an agreement that should begin with a trial before a potential contract.

Auxerre officials tried to sign Sylla before his recent trial with SC Bastia. Their interest never faded, and new talks progressed quickly.

According to information shared with Africasoccer, the club reached an agreement in principle with the AFAS Academy.

Auxerre and the player’s representatives now settle the last details.

Sylla returned to Guinea after his experience in France and now prepares for a decisive moment in his career.

He and his camp welcomed Auxerre’s sporting vision and see the move as a major opportunity.

The young midfielder aims to take a significant leap forward and prove himself at a higher level.

Sylla built a strong reputation at the AFAS Academy. His teammates call him “Freeman,” and coaches praise his game intelligence, sharp spatial awareness, and refined technique.

Observers compare his style to Antoine Griezmann and Ilaix Moriba.

His creativity, discipline, and work rate continue to draw attention from several European clubs.

Auxerre’s proposal, however, stands out as the one that convinces him most.

His trial at SC Bastia did not bring the progress he hoped for, but Sylla values the lessons gained from the experience.

He remains determined to succeed in France. He says he plans to give everything to validate the confidence placed in him.

Sylla expects to join a French club when the winter transfer window opens.

He approaches this next stage with strong motivation and a desire to showcase the full extent of his talent.
