Recording signing Umar Sadiq set to quit Real Sociedad

Super Eagles striker, Umar Sadiq is set to quit Real Sociedad despite his record signing move to the Spanish LaLiga club, reports www.sportsunlimited.ng.

Sadiq has had a tough spell in Donostia-San Sebastian, while so many players thrive at the Reale Arena, just 1,363 minutes and three goals tell the story of his season.

The 27-year-old Nigerian striker arrived for €20m plus €5m in variables two summers ago from Almeria, and was brought in to replace Alexander Isak, but an anterior cruciate ligament injury kept him out for much of his first season, and he has failed to get into rhythm in his second.

As per Relevo, the Nigerian has asked to leave the club this summer, and Getafe is his most likely suitors, with a loan deal in the offing. Getafe is keen to reinforce its forward line, and a loan fits both parties.

Getafe lost Enes Unal this season to Bournemouth, while Borja Mayoral is coming off surgery, and Jaime Mata is another year older.

La Real will also have to rebuild their frontline too, if Sadiq leaves. Andre Silva will return to RB Leipzig after his loan, and Carlos Fernandez remains injury prone, leaving them without a natural number nine.
