The left-back has 12 months remaining on his current deal with the Championship outfit.
The Birmingham Mail recently reported Cissokho has been deemed surplus to requirements at Villa and that the player does not want to return either.

The France international spent the second half of last season on loan at Olympiakos.
Goztepe have been promoted from the Turkish second-tier and are owned by oil tycoon Mehmet Sepil.
Sepil founded Genel Energy in 2001 to extract oil from Northern Iraq.
The company now has 6 fields in Northern Iraq and an earlier venture, Epik Construction, did infrastructure work in Kosovo and Afghanistan.
Aston Villa Ace????????
Total shite more like? Another thief stealing a living off the payroll thankfully!
How was he last season? any good? he’s been at some impressive clubs
He’s like an expensive piece of Art. Used by clubs to transfer huge sums between themselves so people can make money. Ridiculously expensive and shit to look at. You wait until you see him play. Shocking, can’t do the basics properly!
