Sissoko hints at Monaco deal

The former Liverpool midfielder has been training with Claudio Ranieri's side since being released by Paris Saint-Germain and is keen to work with the Italian once more

Mohamed Sissoko has hinted that he may sign for Ligue 1 leaders Monaco.

The Mali international spent the second half of last season on loan at Fiorentina before agreeing to have his contract terminated with French champions Paris Saint-Germain.

But Sissoko, who worked under Monaco boss Claudio Ranieri at Juventus, is currently training with the principality outfit and suggested he will hold talks with the club in order to make his move permanent.

"I asked to come and train here. I know Ranieri well. He coached me at both Valencia and Juventus," Sissoko told the official Ligue 1 website.

"It's quite complicated. The club and I will talk later."

Monaco have made an unbeaten start to life in France's top flight since winning promotion last season and currently sit top of the standings on goal difference ahead of PSG.
