FC Krasnodar have agreed a €4.5m fee for AJ Auxerre’s Gaëtan Perrin, according to Fabrizio Romano.
On Monday 7th July, Auxerre head coach Christophe Pélissier confirmed to L’Yonne that Gaëtan Perrin (29) ‘will leave’ the club this summer, with Krasnodar now his apparent destination. Pélissier’s confirmation followed Perrin’s absence from full-squad training when Auxerre returned for pre-season.
Perrin has not been short of suitors during this transfer window. As reported by L’Yonne, there has been Ligue 1 interest from RC Lens and Paris FC. Furthermore, Auxerre had previously rejected an undisclosed bid from Krasnodar before reaching an agreement.
Perrin’s contract expires in June 2026 and talks over a potential extension failed to yield a positive outcome. As a result, this summer is likely Auxerre’s last opportunity to receive a significant transfer fee for the player.
Perrin was instrumental in Auxerre’s success last season as the club finished in 11th upon their return to Ligue 1. In the 2024-25 campaign, Perrin recorded 10 goals and 11 assists.
