It is with a particularly limited workforce that theAJ Auxerre addresses the rest of this 2025-26 season. Already an orphan of its two animators and best scorers of last season, Gaëtan Perrin and Hamed Junior Traoré, the Bourguignon club lost several offensive cartridges on the last day of the transfer window, with the announced departures of Theo Bair and Ado Onaiwu.
Against all expectations, AJA has not completed any arrival to compensate for this degreasing operation. It is just able to boast of having kept the coveted Lassine Sinayoko, called to play center-forward this season.
Christophe Pélissier, AJA coach.
But to feed the Malian and relieve the Owusu-Danois pair in the middle, Christophe Pélissier would have been happy to have an additional piece to his puzzle. An organizing medium, capable of shooting the stop stop and inserted between the lines. Danny Namaso arrived, but he has a nine and a half profile.
Solutions exist on the free players' market
AJA can still be strengthened, even if the transfer window closed its doors on Monday evening at 8 p.m. Two cases would allow the Burgundian club to record reinforcements: a medical joker, or a free player.
In this second category, the list of elements available is not to be overlooked. If some snoring names seem untouchable for obvious economic reasons (Eriksen, Pjanic, Ziyech, Oxlade-Chamberlain or Alli), other free players could be seduced by the Auxerrois project. Florent Mollet (33), Rachid Ghezzal (33), Flavien Tait (32), Adam Ounas (28 years old) or the young Ayman Kari (20) … Unless the tracks studied in recent days, like Yacine Adli (AC Milan) and Enzo Bardeli (Valenciennes) are not released by their respective clubs.
