Real Madrid interest makes me happy, says Juventus star Mohamed Sissoko – La Liga news
Juventus midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Real-c30728 Madrid. However, the Malian international insisted that his loyalties lie with the outfit he is currently playing
for.
The 26-year-old has been linked with a move away from Stadio Olimpico di Torino in this summer transfer window after failing to come forward as a first-team player during his four-year spell with the Turin side. Having joined Juventus from Liverpool in January
2008, Sissoko has only managed 64 appearances during his stay in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926.
With reports tipping Real Madrid as the leading contender to land the highly-rated midfielder, French club Lyon have also entered the fray. Lyon aim to get Sissoko’s signatures as a part of player exchange deal, which will pave way for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michel-c25453 Bastos’ transfer
to Juventus.
It is being reported that Madrid Coach, Jose Mourinho, is keen to sign the Malian as a replacement of Lassana Diarra, who could be on his way out to in favour of Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United or Juventus.
Despite knowing that Real Madrid are eager to sign him, Sissoko has no doubts over his future, insisting to stay with the Bianconeri at least until his current contract runs out.
“It makes me happy that a club like Real Madrid want me. It's fantastic, but I still have two years on my contract at Juventus - a club I have great respect for. I'm flattered by the interest from Madrid, but I'm a Juventus player.” Sissoko said while talking
to Marca.
Should Sissoko decide to join the Spanish giants, he will be presented with an opportunity to play alongside his former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Xabi-Alonso-c37045.
“It was a special time. Playing with Xabi is simple because he's a great player. I played really well alongside him and we had a good relationship in the dressing room - he's a great person.” Sissoko added.
