Lassine Sinayoko is being linked with a move from AJ Auxerre to LaLiga side Girona, with the Mali-France forward attracting growing interest after a sharp rise in his market value.
Reports in France and Spain suggest Girona are monitoring the 26-year-old centre-forward, though the likelihood of a deal remains unclear, with the mooted probability of any transfer currently listed only as “?”. No fee has been reported, but Sinayoko is valued at €7.00m, a figure that has climbed steadily over the past few seasons and may form the basis for any negotiations between the clubs.
Sinayoko, who wears the number 10 shirt for Auxerre, has spent his entire senior career with the Burgundy club after progressing from their U19s to the B team and then into the first team in 2019. His emergence has coincided with a steep increase in his valuation, rising from €150,000 in 2019 to its current €7.00m as of mid-December 2025, reflecting his growing importance in the attack.
The Bamako-born striker, who stands at 1.86m and plays primarily as a centre-forward with his right foot, has experience in French football across Auxerre’s youth and senior sides. Auxerre are currently listed in Ligue 1, while Girona compete in Spain’s top flight, LaLiga, making any move a potential step into a different tactical and cultural environment.
No details have been disclosed on Sinayoko’s contract length with Auxerre, raising the possibility that his situation could evolve towards a free-agent scenario if no extension is agreed and if his current deal is nearing its conclusion. For Girona, a player with dual Malian and French nationality and a steadily increasing market value could represent both sporting depth in attack and resale potential.
Should the transfer materialise, a switch from Auxerre to Girona would offer Sinayoko a new platform in one of Europe’s most technically demanding leagues, a stage on which he could further shape his career trajectory and enhance his reputation.
