Umar Sadiq leaving Real Sociedad?
There is growing interest from several Qatari teams in Umar Sadiq, offering potentially lucrative financial terms. This interest comes despite Valencia CF having a purchase option. The Qatari offer could present a financial windfall that might be difficult to match, as per Radio Marca Valencia.
Umar Sadiq, currently on loan at Valencia CF from Real Sociedad, has performed notably since recovering from a serious knee injury, scoring six goals. Valencia CF is considering executing the purchase option for just under 10 million euros before the deadline in July, as reported by Radio Marca Valencia.
Valencia CF has finalized an agreement with Real Sociedad for the acquisition of Nigerian international Umar Sadiq on a loan deal until the end of the season, which includes an option to buy at the conclusion of the loan period. Umar Sadiq is joining Valencia following his tenure at Real Sociedad. Prior to his time with the 'txuri-urdin' team, he played for three seasons at UD Almería, where he achieved 43 goals and 13 assists over 84 matches. During the 2021-2022 season, he was a key player in Almería's promotion to LaLiga EA Sports. Additionally, Umar Sadiq has gained international experience with various clubs, including Partizan Belgrade, Perugia, Rangers, NAC Breda, Torino, Bologna, Roma, and Spezia.
Valencia CF is interested in signing Umar Sadiq to strengthen their attack. Sadiq has lost prominence at Real Sociedad, and his goal-scoring ability makes him a favored option for Valencia's Mestalla.
Umar Sadiq has had a marginal role in recent matches at Real Sociedad. There is speculation he might seek playing opportunities elsewhere due to limited minutes and lack of confidence from the coach.
