Manchester United are reportedly negotiating with Lassine Sinayoko of Auxerre, with plans to sign the player on a free transfer in the summer of 2026, offering a salary of around €3 million per year.
The Red Devils have entered serious discussions with Sinayoko and his representatives as they look to get ahead of other potential suitors. The 26-year-old forward is currently under contract with Auxerre until the summer of 2026, but United are eager to secure an early agreement.
Talks are said to be progressing positively, and Manchester United hope to reach a pre-contract agreement as early as the winter transfer window, allowing them to sign the Mali international for free once his deal expires.

Sinayoko is reportedly on Manchester United’s radar.
Both parties are reportedly close to finalizing personal terms, with the proposed wage package valued at approximately €3 million per season.
Manchester United’s interest in Sinayoko has come as a surprise to many, especially as the player is currently representing Mali at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Sinayoko is a versatile attacker who can operate as a central striker or on either wing. However, his overall record of 25 goals and 23 assists in 159 appearances for Auxerre has raised questions among some fans, despite the appeal of a free transfer to Old Trafford.
At AFCON, Sinayoko has been in impressive form, contributing to Mali’s strong start to the tournament. He has already scored two goals in two matches, including a notable performance against tournament hosts Morocco.
