Sheriff Sinyan will soon become a new footballer for Rapid, having been requested by Daniel Pancu after Daniel Graovac’s serious injury. Sinyan became a free agent in the summer and waited for a favorable contract abroad, which did not materialize. Rapid had wanted him before, but the center-back’s demands at that time were considered exaggerated. trumedia writes that whereas previously Sinyan had asked for a signing bonus of 200,000 euros and a salary of 35,000 euros per month, he has now accepted a monthly salary of 20,000 euros and a signing bonus of 50,000 euros. According to information from digisport.ro, the center-back from Gambia will sign a contract valid until the end of the season, with an option to extend for one more year.

Digi Sport reports that the transfer of Sheriff Sinyan to Rapid is imminent. Sinyan is currently a free agent after his association with CFR ended in the summer and is set to work again with Daniel Pancu. The Gambian central defender is expected to finalize all details with Rapid today and will be officially presented. He will sign a contract valid until the end of the season, with an option to extend for another year, and is the 12th transfer made by Rapid this summer.

Sheriff Sinyan had a medical examination on Tuesday and is expected to be presented at Rapid in the near future. Rapid decided to transfer Sinyan, who has been a free agent since leaving CFR Cluj. Sinyan did not reach an agreement with CFR Cluj for a contract extension because club owner Ioan Varga considered his financial demands to be excessive. After the Rapid - Universitatea Craiova match, Daniel Pancu stated that he has reached an agreement with a central defender who played in Romania and whom he has coached. Cristi Săpunaru stated that he believes Sinyan would be very good for Rapid, particularly after Graovac's injury, and also mentioned Sinyan's previous collaboration with Daniel Pancu at CFR Cluj.

Rapid Bucuresti manager Daniel Pancu announced that a new central defender, whom he had previously coached, would be arriving from the Romanian league. Pancu also stated that this signing would very likely be the club's final transfer. The player is Sheriff Sinyan, a 30-year-old Gambian-Norwegian international who is a free agent after his departure from CFR Cluj. Sinyan has 12 caps and one goal for The Gambia. He is scheduled to undergo a medical examination on Tuesday, September 1, and will be officially presented on the same day if the examination is successful. Transfermarkt estimates his market value at €1.40m.
