Eintracht Frankfurt set their sights on Malian Lassine Sinayoko: does the deal go through?

German giants Eintracht Francfort have dropped Malian international Lassine Sinayoko from their plans for next season, according to reports in African football, although the player has signed a contract with Auxerre until June 2026, and the Malian striker is not opposed to new experiences in his professional career.

The corridors of Stade de l'Abbé-Deschamps still echo with chants celebrating Lassine Sinayoko's crucial contributions last season. The 25-year-old Malian international, whose five goals in 34 appearances proved instrumental in Auxerre's Ligue 1 survival, now finds himself at a career crossroads as Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt comes calling.

Since arriving at Auxerre in 2019, Sinayoko has experienced the full spectrum of French football - from the gritty battles of Ligue 2 to the bright lights of the top flight. His development into a reliable forward (20 international caps, 6 goals for Mali) hasn't gone unnoticed. Frankfurt's scouts, preparing for their Champions League campaign, have identified the powerful striker as ideal reinforcement for their European ambitions.

Several names to be signed by Eintracht Frankfurt

Eintracht Frankfurt has set its sights on Malian striker Lassine Sinayoko as part of its ambitious summer rebuild. The Bundesliga club’s sporting director, Markus Krösche, has reportedly initiated contact with Auxerre in recent days, signaling serious intent to secure the 25-year-old forward.

Sources close to the player reveal that Frankfurt has tabled an €8 million bid for Sinayoko, who played a pivotal role in keeping Auxerre in Ligue 1 last season. Should the French club accept, the Mali international (20 caps, 6 goals) is expected to sign a five-year deal with Die Adler.

While Frankfurt appears to be leading the race, competition looms. Several clubs across Germany, France, and England are monitoring the situation, drawn by Sinayoko’s physicality and proven top-flight experience. Valued at €4 million by Transfermarkt, the striker’s next move could define his career trajectory. Will Auxerre cash in, or will rival suitors disrupt Frankfurt’s plans? The transfer saga unfolds.
