Manchester United are in talks to get a deal done for Lassine Sinayoko in 2026, according to a report, while transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has revealed an offer from AS Roma for Joshua Zirkzee, whose stance on leaving Old Trafford in the January transfer window has also been disclosed.<\/p>\n
It has been well-documented that Man Utd are keen on signing a new midfielder in the January transfer window. TEAMtalk understands that Nottingham Forest star Elliot Anderson is Man Utd\u2019s top midfield target<\/a>, but Carlos Baleba, Joao Gomes and Adam Wharton are also on the Red Devils\u2019 wishlist.<\/p>\n Man Utd in talks with Lassine Sinayoko<\/strong><\/p>\n However, it has now emerged that Man Utd<\/a> are close to agreeing a deal to sign a Mali international forward.<\/p>\n According to Africa Foot<\/a>, Man Utd are in \u2018serious negotiations\u2019 with Lassine Sinayoko and his entourage.<\/p>\n The 26-year-old is out of contract at French club Auxerre in the summer of 2026, and Man Utd plan to snap him up on a free transfer.<\/p>\n \u2018Discussions are progressing favourably, and the English club hope to finalise the agreement during the winter transfer window in order to acquire him on a free transfer at the end of his contract in June 2026,\u2019 according to the report.<\/p>\n It has been further claimed that Man Utd are \u2018finalising a \u20ac3million (\u00a32.6m, $3.5m) salary agreement\u2019 with Sinayoko, with the two parties \u2018continuing discussions to reach a final deal\u2019.<\/p>\n Man Utd\u2019s reported interest in Sinayoko, who is playing for Mali at the Africa Cup of Nations at the moment, comes as a surprise.<\/p>\n While Sinayoko has demonstrated his ability to play as a right-winger, left-winger and centre-forward, 25 goals and 23 assists in 159 appearances for Auxerre so far in his career are not the kind of return that would make Man Utd fans get excited, even though it must be noted that he would arrive at Old Trafford as a free agent.<\/p>\n It must be noted that no other reputable sources are reporting about Man Utd and Sinayoko, so one must treat this rumour with caution for now.<\/p>\n Want more breaking transfer lines from original sources?
