Sevilla are being linked with a move for AJ Auxerre striker Lassine Sinayoko, with the La Liga club reportedly monitoring the Mali-France centre-forward ahead of a potential bid.
Sinayoko, 26, is currently valued at €7.00m and remains under contract at Auxerre, but the absence of a stated expiry date has fuelled suggestions he could become attainable or even a future free agent if no extension is agreed. The latest speculation, emerging on 23 December, lists the likelihood of a deal only as “?”, underlining how early-stage and uncertain discussions appear to be.
Sevilla are said to be assessing attacking options, and Sinayoko’s profile – a 1.86m right-footed centre-forward wearing the number 10 shirt for Auxerre – fits the template of a physically strong focal point who can lead the line. He has spent his entire senior career with the Burgundy club, progressing from the U19s to the B team and then into the first team in 2019.
His market value has risen sharply in recent seasons, climbing from €150,000 in 2019 to its current €7.00m, with notable jumps recorded across 2024 and 2025. That trajectory suggests his performances in Ligue 1 have not gone unnoticed outside France, even if no specific matches are highlighted in the latest data.
Born in Bamako on 8 December 1999, Sinayoko holds both Malian and French nationality, adding appeal for clubs conscious of squad registration rules and potential international commitments. He is listed primarily as an attacking centre-forward, with AJ Auxerre also shown as his national team affiliation in the available records.
Whether Sevilla convert their interest into a formal offer remains to be seen, but any move to La Liga would represent a significant step up in profile and could prove decisive in shaping Sinayoko’s next career phase and how he is perceived on the European stage.
