Official | Saint-Étienne’s Ibrahim Sissoko joins Bochum | OneFootball

AS Saint-Étienne forward Ibrahim Sissoko (29) will leave the club upon the expiry of his deal at the end of this month to join German side VfL Bochum.

Sissoko, one of the key players of Les Verts’ promotion back to Ligue 1 in the 2023/24 season, featured less regularly last season. He notably missed a chunk of the season for a violent challenge in a Coupe de France fixture, whilst his minutes were also limited by the arrival of Lucas Stassin, brought in to lead the line.

Saint-Étienne, who have now dropped back into Ligue 2, have opted against extending the Malian’s deal. He therefore leaves on a free transfer and he has immediately found a new club. He has joined Bochum, who will play their football in the Bundesliga 2 next season. The duration of his contract has not been revealed by the German club. At Sainté, Sissoko scored 16 goals in 53 appearances.
