Sporting CP
In April 2022, he was signed by Sporting CP on a five year contract with a release clause of 60 million euros. This brought finality to rumors of him joining Sporting CP on loan from Liverpool and other transfer saga rumour. Prior to signing officially Issahaku had been at the club since February and had been training with the U-23 side. As he was an under age player at the time, and with the season already ongoing, he couldn’t be registered with the first-team until the 2022–23 season, then, he began to train with the B team until available to play for the professional team.

Ahead of the 2022–23 season, Issahaku was named in the squad for pre-season training and tour for the first team. He was involved in the team’s preparations prior to the start of the season playing his first pre-season game against Belgium side Royale Union. On 7 August 2022, he was named on the bench for the first match of the season. The following weekend he made his debut after coming on in the 80th minute for Francisco Trincão in Sporting CP’s 3–0 victory over Rio Ave.
