Umar Abubakar has completed a 5-year move to Famalicao and will wear the number #9. After a great season with Jong KAA Gent on loan, where he scored 21 goals in 29 matches and was instrumental in their promotion to the Challenger Pro League, Famalicao won the race to sign him. The transfer fee was 600,000 euros, including bonuses. KRC Genk expressed interest but were too late to secure the player, and an earlier offer from Rapid Wenen of 300,000 euros was rejected.
