On 28 June 2007, it was confirmed that Cissé had signed a two-year contract (with an option of a third) with Beşiktaş J.K. of Turkey for a fee of €1.5 million per annum. He played well with Fabian Ernst and left the club on 3 June 2009 to sign with Olympique de Marseille. On 18 August 2011, he joined AJ Auxerre on a two-year contract. After two years at the club he left in 2013.
