An international attacker in Ligue 1 has experienced a meteoric rise in the evolution of his status.
He arrived in Yonne quietly in 2017, to perfect his training after his achievements in the Parisian region with Entente Sannois Saint-Gratien: Lassine Sinayoko has come a long way since his arrival at AJA. The Malian international striker is even the player who has experienced the most staggering salary increase during this period in the landscape of Ligue 1.
The newspaper L’Équipe, which published its annual survey of salaries in the French championship, specified that Lassine Sinayoko was only earning 300 euros per month when he started at AJ Auxerre.
Now a professional, the current top scorer of the Burgundian club this season in Ligue 1 (6 goals) has patiently climbed all the ranks.
An exemplary progression
After reaching a milestone under the guidance of Jean-Marc Furlan by becoming an important substitute to compete with Gaëtan Charbonnier in Ligue 2, Lassine Sinayoko gradually established himself in the Auxerre lineup. The power, versatility, and generosity of the Malian with and without the ball are undisputed. To the point that AJA has shown him full trust by extending his contract multiple times.
The Eagle of Mali currently earns 110,000 euros gross per month, making him the highest-paid player in the club. A salary multiplied by almost 370 since 2017! Just a reminder, the striker is linked to Auxerre until 2027 after signing on for an additional season a few weeks ago.
