Reports suggest that emissaries from Olympiakos Piraeus and AS Roma have approached the player in recent days, signaling a potential transfer saga in the upcoming summer window.
While negotiations have already commenced between Olympiakos and Sissoko’s representatives, AS Roma has also entered the fray, indicating a competitive pursuit for the talented midfielder’s signature.
