Mohamed "Momo" Lamine Sissoko Gillan (born January 22, 1985 in Mont-Saint-Aignan , France ) is a former Malian football player who also has French citizenship .
He is a nephew of the African footballer of the year 1970, Salif Keita . His brothers Ibrahim and Abdoul are also professional footballers. His cousin Seydou Keita played for FC Barcelona , among others .
Career
In the club
Born in France, Mohamed Sissoko began his football career in the youth department of AJ Auxerre . His professional career began in 2002 at the age of 17 at Auxerre, where he did not come to a single use in the 2002/03 season.
In summer 2003, Mohamed Sissoko moved to Spanish club Valencia . The local coach Rafael Benítez recognized his abilities as a midfielder and used him in this position, although the Malian had only played as an attacker until then. Sissoko made an immediate breakthrough in Valencia and won the UEFA Cup and the Spanish championship with the club in their first year .
For the 2005/06 season Mohamed Sissoko moved for about 5.3 million pounds sterling to the English club Liverpool , where Rafael Benítez was coach since 2004. In Liverpool, too, Sissoko was immediately able to put himself in the limelight thanks to his fighting and physical abilities and quickly become a crowd favorite. In the first season Sissoko was an absolute regular player and won the European Supercup and the FA Cup with the Reds . In February 2006 he was injured in the Champions League game against Benfica Lisbon by an accidental kick by Beto in the head. Sissoko sustained an injury to the retina of his right eye . First fears that he could even lose up to 80% of his eyesight did not come true. In the second year, the Malian came, mainly because of a protracted arm injury and the commitment of the Argentine Javier Mascherano in his position, only to 28 appearances for Liverpool and failed with the club in the final of the Champions League at AC Milan . For the 2007/08 season, Liverpool signed another player, Lucas , who challenged Sissoko for his midfield position. Despite numerous transfer rumors that brought him in connection with FC Barcelona and Juventus Turin, among others , he extended his contract with the Reds in June 2007 until 2011. It was later announced that Sissoko had received an official offer from Juventus, but this with the Justification Liverpool was the bigger club that had rejected.
Sissoko only made ten appearances in the first half of the season and therefore publicly demanded more appearances in the first team from Benítez in January 2008. The Malian was then put on the transfer list and attracted the interest of numerous large clubs. On January 29, 2008 he finally moved to the Italian record champions Juventus Turin for 11 million euros , where he signed a five-year contract and met Claudio Ranieri , who had already trained him in Valencia. He made his debut for the old lady on February 3, 2008 and immediately earned himself a regular place in Turin and the admiration of the Tifosi . With Juve , who had played in Serie B the previous year due to the manipulation scandal , Sissoko reached third place in Serie A in 2007/08 . In August 2008 he extended his contract with Juventus until June 30, 2013, but moved to the French first division club Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2011 .
On January 31, 2013, Sissoko moved to the Italian Serie A at Fiorentina on loan until the end of the season . He made five appearances in Florence, four of them as a substitute. For the 2013/14 season Sissoko returned to Paris. He left the club in early September 2013 and has been without a club since then. On January 31, 2014 Sissoko signed a contract with Levante UD until the end of the season. He later extended this for another year until the end of the 2014/15 season. In June 2015 he moved to Shanghai Shenhua in China .
