St.Pauli to set new transfer record for Malian forward, per L’Équipe

The Kiezkickers are reportedly on the hunt for another attacking option with a Malian marksman in Ligue 1 being listed.

As L’Équipe reports, St.Pauli could be set to break their own transfer record within weeks as their attention turns to a striker in France.

Lassine Sinayoko, who scored 5 goals and provided 8 assists in 34 games for AJ Auxurre in Ligue 1 last season, is the target. 

However, the Bundesliga club’s initial offer of €4million euros plus €1million in potential bonuses for Sinayoko was supposedly rejected.

According to the report, Dinamo Moscow suffered a similar fate after their €6million transfer fee didn’t meet Auxurre’s standards. 

Although this far exceeds St. Pauli’s usual transfer fees, an “increased offer” from St.Pauli could arrive soon, according to the French daily.

Should a deal be struck, St.Pauli would surpass its own €3.5million transfer record paid for Joel Chima Fujita who joined just a few weeks ago.
