Sissoko wants Del Piero at PSG

Mohamed Sissoko says he would love former Juventus team-mate Alessandro Del Piero to join him at Paris Saint-Germain next season.

Mali international Sissoko played alongside Juve favourite Del Piero between 2008 and 2011, before departing Turin for the French capital in the close season.

With Del Piero set to leave Juve at the end of the campaign, Sissoko is hoping PSG’s rumoured interest materialises into a move for the former Italy attacker.

“I had the chance to play with Del Piero at Juventus,” Sissoko told PSG’s website.

“He’s a great player and also a great guy. I think he could still bring a lot to a team like PSG.”

Sissoko said he is enjoying life at the Parc des Princes under former AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti.

But the former Liverpool man was also quick to acknowledge the work done by the Italian’s predecessor, Antoine Kombouare, in propelling PSG to the summit of Ligue 1.

“(Ancelotti) is a renowned coach, who arrived with his own ideas and plenty of motivation,” Sissoko said.

“It is important to have a coach of this calibre.”

“However, do not forget the work of Antoine Kombouare in the first six months of the season.”
