UMAR SADIQ UNDERGOES MEDICAL AT VALENCIA AHEAD OF LOAN MOVE FROM REAL SOCIEDAD

Nigerian striker Umar Sadiq is undergoing a medical examination at Valencia today, as he prepares to complete a loan transfer from Real Sociedad. The move includes a buy option clause, which would allow Valencia to sign Sadiq permanently for a reported fee of €9 million.

Sadiq, 26, has struggled to establish himself as a regular starter at Real Sociedad, making just 17 appearances for the club in all competitions last season. Despite his limited playing time, Sadiq has shown glimpses of his goal-scoring ability, netting 6 goals in his 17 appearances.

Valencia, who are currently 10th in La Liga, will be hoping that Sadiq can bring his attacking prowess to the club and help them climb the table. The Nigerian striker’s physicality, pace, and finishing ability make him a valuable asset to any team.

The loan move to Valencia could be a great opportunity for Sadiq to revive his career and gain more playing time. With the World Cup looming, Sadiq will be eager to impress and secure a spot in Nigeria’s squad.

Real Sociedad, on the other hand, will be looking to trim their squad and make room for new signings. The sale of Sadiq would also provide the club with a much-needed influx of cash.

The transfer is expected to be completed in the coming days, pending the outcome of Sadiq’s medical examination. Valencia fans will be eagerly awaiting the official announcement, hoping that Sadiq can make a significant impact at the Mestalla Stadium.
