Paris FC Signs Mali Forward Lassine Sinayoko

The move signals owner-backed spending to strengthen Paris FC's attack ahead of a season in which the club aims to challenge PSG.

Overview

  • Paris FC confirmed the 26-year-old Lassine Sinayoko has signed a three-year contract after the club completed the transfer from AJ Auxerre.
  • Reports put the transfer fee at roughly €8–10 million though the club did not disclose the exact sum.
  • Media accounts say Hull City made a larger offer but Sinayoko chose to join Paris FC.
  • Sinayoko scored 12 league goals and had four assists for Auxerre in 2025–26 and has about 30 caps and 10 goals for Mali, including multiple Africa Cup of Nations appearances.
  • The signing is part of a focused attack-first recruitment drive backed by the Arnault family that has pushed Paris FC's summer spending above €65 million and seeks to build a more competitive Ligue 1 side under coach Liam Rosenior.
