Sissoko scored his first professional goal on 9 November 2013, netting the winner of a 2–1 home success against UD Las Palmas.[5] He featured in 29 matches and scored three goals, as the Valencian side were relegated.

On 17 July 2014 Sissoko joined La Liga side Granada CF in a season-long loan.[6] He made his debut in the competition on 23 August, starting in a 2–1 home win against Deportivo de La Coruña.[7]
