Report in Spain Links Maccabi Tel Aviv’s Ismaila Sissoko to La Liga Interest
Spanish media reports say Maccabi Tel Aviv midfielder Ismaila Sissoko is attracting attention from two La Liga clubs, Elche and Levante. Journalist Javi Cuenca of esportbase wrote that Sissoko is on both clubs’ lists and noted that he has one year left on his contract.
Levante returned to Spain’s top flight after winning promotion from the second division last season and then finished 16th in the 20-team league, just enough to stay up. The club also features Israeli midfielder Tai Abed, who joined from PSV Eindhoven.
Elche finished one place above the relegation zone with 43 points, one more than the bottom three, and recently appointed 40-year-old Martin Ansalmi as head coach after his spells at Botafogo and Porto.
Sissoko, 24, is a Mali youth international. He made 40 appearances for Maccabi Tel Aviv this season, helped the club win the State Cup, and recorded one assist. The report raises the possibility that he could leave the Israeli champions this summer.
