Super Eagles striker Umar Sadiq is in high demand, with four Spanish clubs – Getafe, Sevilla, Valencia, and Rayo Vallecano – vying for his signature.
According to very reliable sources, Real Sociedad, where Sadiq has a contract until 2028, has agreed to let him leave, and talks are underway to finalize his departure.
Sadiq, who became Real Sociedad’s most expensive signing when they bought him from UD Almería for up to 25 million euros, has struggled to replicate his impressive form at Almería, where he scored 43 goals in two seasons. Despite his high price tag, he has only managed four goals in 39 appearances for Sociedad.
The Nigerian striker is keen to stay in the Spanish league and is considering offers from clubs like Valencia and Sevilla, which he sees as better opportunities. These teams are interested in securing him on loan, a move that would let them assess his performance without a major financial commitment upfront.

Sadiq’s departure from Real Sociedad is imminent, and the coming weeks will be crucial in deciding his next destination. The striker is determined to find a team where he can rediscover his form and contribute significantly.
This development is a significant boost for Nigerian football, as Sadiq’s move to a new club could revitalize his career and provide another platform for him to shine on the international stage.
Sadiq Umar has also struggled to perform for Nigeria at the International stage due to so many high profiled players in his position. Victor Osimhen, Victor Boniface, Paul Onauchu and Terrem Moffi are often pegged above him in the Super Eagles squad.
His potential move to a new Spanish club is an exciting development for Nigerian football fans. With four clubs vying for his signature, it remains to be seen where he will end up next. One thing is certain, however – Sadiq is ready for a new challenge, and his next destination will be crucial in determining his future success.
