AJ Auxerre and Paris FC have reportedly reached an agreement in principle regarding the transfer of Lassine Sinayoko (26) to the Parisian club, according to L’Équipe.
While the exact transfer fee has not been disclosed, estimates place it between €6.5 million, excluding bonuses, and €10 million. This range reflects the amount AJ Auxerre had anticipated when Sinayoko’s potential move to RC Lens fell through last summer and the current valuation the Burgundy-based club places on the Malian international.

Hull City, recently promoted to the Premier League, proposed €13 million, excluding bonuses, to acquire the striker’s services, but Sinayoko himself expressed a preference to join Paris FC.
However, before he can officially transfer to the capital club, Auxerre’s management wishes to conduct a final meeting with the Bamako-born player. Sinayoko has reportedly gone on strike from training following a dispute with the club’s administration.
Despite the contentious situation, it is anticipated that an agreement will be reached soon, alleviating concerns for all parties involved.
