Auxerre is preparing for the winter transfer window with great caution. After a successful first half of the season in Ligue 2, Christophe Pélissier, the team's coach, wants to preserve the balance of his team.

What is the team's mindset?

Auxerre is currently in a good position in the Ligue 2 standings, with the best attack and the runner-up spot behind Angers. Christophe Pélissier is satisfied with the collective strength of his team and intends not to disrupt this balance this winter.

What are the upcoming challenges?

The team will have to face the CAN, which could affect some of its players, such as Lassine Sinayoko, Gideon Mensah, and Elisha Owusu. The busy schedule during this period will see Auxerre host Bordeaux and Angers, and travel to Grenoble and Pau.
