Scouts from Barcelona, Milan, Juventus and Porto have been to Denmark several times to see the Danish midfielder and Arsenal has also shown interest in the midfielder. According to Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf Ajax has offered 7 million euros without success.
The player is represented by his agent Jonas Ankersen. He also scored the opening goal of the second-leg at Old Trafford before Midtjylland went on to lose 5-1 (6-3 on aggregate) to Manchester United and bow out of the Europa League.
Since Sisto was not a Danish citizen, but had lived almost his whole life in Denmark, the Danish national team manager Morten Olsen expressed his hope that the player would be eligible for the national squad.
Upon receiving his Danish citizenship in December 2014, Sisto was immediately chosen to represent the Denmark national under-21 football team, although in an unofficial match. Legally, he would not yet be able to represent Denmark in an official international match, due to Fédération internationale de football association regulations. On 8 May 2015, Sisto received official word of Fédération internationale de football association"s dispensation decision, allowing him to represent Denmark without waiting the obligatory five years following his 18th birthday.
On 20 May 2015, Sisto was called up to the Denmark national football team for its matches against Montenegro and Serbia.
Sisto debuted for the Danish national football team on 4 September 2015, in a Euro 2016 qualifying match against Albania. He played the first 45 minutes, but was replaced at halftime by Yussuf Poulsen.
The game ended 0–0. He represented the Denmark U21 team at the 2015 Union of European Football Associations European Under-21 Championship in the Czechoslovakian Republic, and scored the last goal in a 2–1 victory against the host nation in the opening match at the Eden Arena in Prague.
Sisto has lived in Denmark since he was two months old and has Danish citizenship.
