Bochum Nears Sissoko Sale to Nantes as Passlack Draws Hibernian Interest

Player priorities and contract timing are driving Bochum’s midwinter reshuffle.

Overview

  • Talks over Ibrahima Sissoko’s transfer to Nantes are described as close to completion with only final details, including a medical, still to be finalized.
  • Bochum is expected to receive a total fee of a little over €2 million for Sissoko when bonuses are included, according to multiple reports.
  • Head coach Uwe Rösler acknowledged active negotiations and indicated Sissoko could leave, as reporting also notes the player’s camp pushed for the move.
  • Sissoko joined Bochum on a free from Strasbourg in 2024 and, despite injuries this season, has three league goals in limited appearances.
  • Right-back Felix Passlack, out of contract this summer and not a regular starter, is the subject of interest from Hibernian, with Bochum holding internal alternatives at the position.
