Spanish second-division club Levante is reportedly preparing a €3 million offer for Maccabi Tel Aviv midfielder Issouf Sissoko, aiming to secure his transfer during the upcoming January window. The 24-year-old Malian international has become a key player for Maccabi since joining in the summer of 2024 from Bordeaux, with his contract running until 2027.

Levante, currently 14th in La Liga, has identified Sissoko as a prime target to strengthen their midfield. Initial contact has already been made between representatives of the Spanish club and the player's agents, and Levante intends to expedite negotiations to finalize the deal. The proposed offer significantly exceeds Sissoko's estimated market value of €1.7 million, according to Transfermarkt.

Sissoko's performances for Maccabi Tel Aviv have been notable, characterized by over 90% pass accuracy, strong ball-winning abilities under pressure, and effective defensive intensity. He has been instrumental in the team's midfield, facilitating quick transitions from defense to attack.

Levante is not the only club interested in Sissoko; Portuguese side Sporting Braga is also closely monitoring the midfielder and has him on their list of potential winter reinforcements. Maccabi Tel Aviv has established itself as a profitable player export hub in Israeli football, with numerous significant sales in recent years, including Erran Zahavi to Guangzhou R&F, Oscar Gloukh to Red Bull Salzburg, Felicio Milson to Red Star Belgrade, Daniel Peretz to Bayern Munich, and Predrag Rajkovic to Reims.
