Sasso was born in Saint-Cloud, Paris. On 18 June 2008, he signed his first professional contract with FC Nantes. He made his professional debut on 31 July 2010 in a 4–2 penalty shootout away loss against US Boulogne in the first round of the Coupe de la Ligue,[2] and went on to spend two years with the first team in Ligue 2, contributing 20 games to a ninth place in 2011–12.
In the summer of 2012, Sasso joined S.C. Beira-Mar in Portugal for three years.[3] He scored his first goal for the Aveiro club on 6 October, putting the visitors ahead in an eventual 2–1 defeat at S.L. Benfica.[4] His team would eventually suffer relegation, but he had already left in late January 2013 to fellow Primeira Liga side S.C. Braga, on a contract until June 2017.[5]
On 30 June 2015, Sasso was loaned to Sheffield Wednesday from the English Championship in a season-long move.[6] After making only 18 competitive appearances, he left.[7]
In August 2016, Sasso rejoined Wednesday after signing a permanent one-year contract.[8] He returned to Portugal and its top division in the following off-season, agreeing to a two-year deal at C.F. Os Belenenses as a free agent.[9]
Sasso moved to the Swiss Super League on 17 June 2019, signing with Servette FC for three seasons.[10]
