[2] During the 2017–18 and 2018–19 seasons, Sissako played for PSG's B team, making a total of 24 appearances and scoring 1 goal.[ citation needed ]

Standard Liège

On 28 January 2020, Sissako joined Belgian club Standard Liège on a six-month loan with an option to buy. [3] At the end of the season, the deal was made permanent for a fee of €400,000. [4] [5] He made his professional debut in a 4–1 Belgian Cup win over Seraing on 3 February 2021. [6]

Sochi

On 1 September 2022, Sissako joined Russian Premier League club Sochi. [7]

RWD Molenbeek

On 6 September 2023, Sissako joined Belgian Pro League club RWD Molenbeek on loan with an option to buy. He also signed a four-year contract with the club which will be in place in case the option to buy is exercised. [8] On 11 February 2024, Sissako suffered a tendon tear injury that would make him unable to play from 9 to 12 months. [9]

International career

Born in France, Sissako holds French and Malian nationalities. [10] He has regularly been called up to play with the France youth teams in the past. [11] He was called up by the Mali U23 team for the 2019 Africa U-23 Cup of Nations, but was not capped. [12] He debuted for the senior Mali national team in a 5–0 FIFA World Cup qualification win over Kenya on 7 October 2021. [13]

Style of play

Usually a left-sided centre-back, Sissako is versatile enough to play on both central defensive positions of a back four. He occasionally plays on the right side of a back three, and sometimes as the central defender in a back five. [14] He is good with both of his feet. [15] PSG youth coach François Rodrigues has described Sissako as a player that is "very aggressive on the field". [16]

Personal life

One of his brothers, Abdoulaye, is also a footballer. Souleymane, his other brother, is his adviser. [17]

In October 2020, Sissako tested positive for COVID-19, along with several of his teammates at Standard Liège. [18]
