The opposite life of Baa, Sissy and Summer Decisions

They are compatriots and friends, they play in the same position, they are the same age, they followed the same path (Senegal – France – Greece), but the season found them in a different playing position and location before the summer transfer window. .

the Useinou ba He overcame his injury, was patient, seized the opportunity when he had it and once again became a key player in the heart of Olympiacos’ defence. On the other hand, Pape Abou Sisi was a key player in the European League qualifiers and group stage, but he was on the bench or left out of the squad for the Premier League and the Greek Novipet Cup matches.

Ba and Cisse data

Ba has been a regular in derbies with Panathinaikos and AEK, has played well in the past month and a half and is preparing for a dynamic end to the season. Osino has made 18 appearances in all competitions this season and his market value is currently €4,000,000, up from €5,000,000 last year. In total, he made 106 appearances, 1 goal and 1 assist in the “red and white” jersey.

Cisse after the first week of January and the defeat of the Piraeus team at the hands of Karabakh in Valero was practically on the sidelines. In the last six months or so, he has played only five minutes per game against OFI in the league, 30 minutes as a substitute against Nantes in the Europa League and 94 minutes against Atlomitos and Aris in the Cup. Very little for a player who predicted his year would be a preseason.

The Senegalese goalkeeper played 16 matches and scored one goal this season, but his absence from Olympiacos cost him a call-up to his country for the two matches against Mozambique on March 24 and 28. Cisse traveled home at the start of the week but for personal reasons and is expected to return to Greece over the weekend.

Africa is currently valued at 6 million, while last summer it was only 8 million euros. Also, we must not forget that Olympiacos at some point rejected an offer for a player from the German team amounting to 16 million euros.

summer resolutions

Ba and Cisse’s contracts with Piraeus PAE expire in the summer of 2024, which means they will enter their final year from June. Thus, Olympiacos will need to decide after the end of the league whether to extend its partnership with one or both players or sell them. As it stands, the partnership with Ba is very likely to continue, but the same cannot be said of Cisse.

Of course, a lot will depend on Olympiacos’ plan for the new season, on the coach’s recommendation, on the mood of the players and on what offers will arrive for the Africans at the PAE offices.
