Parma, fresh off their promotion to Serie A, are looking to bolster their midfield options for the upcoming season, and have identified Strasbourg’s Ibrahima Sissoko as a potential target. Sissoko, a 27-year-old Malian midfielder, has amassed nearly 200 appearances for Strasbourg over the past six seasons. During the 2023-24 campaign, the defensive midfielder made 31 appearances and provided 3 assists.
Sky Sport Italia report that Parma’s promotion back to Serie A means they will face stiffer competition, and they are keen to strengthen their squad, particularly in midfield. Sissoko’s experience and defensive attributes could make him a valuable addition to their team.
Sissoko’s Transfermarkt market value is set at €6 million, and it is likely that Parma would need to offer a fee in the region of that amount to secure his signature.
Parma are not the only club reportedly interested in Sissoko, with other Serie A teams also said to be monitoring the situation. The player’s agent is likely to have several offers to consider in the coming weeks.
