Where will Umar Sadiq end up?

Uncertainty surrounds Umar Sadiq with certainty that, with each passing day, he is closer to staying in Almería. awhile ago three weeks his departure was taken for granted, to the point that the Nigerian striker was called up in the final pre-season game against Al-Hilal. The general director of the Indál club, Mohamed El Assy, confirmed that he will be transferred “for just under 30 million.” So, how many are he courting, with Villarreal and Getafe as the highest bidders and also revealed the name of Borussia Dortmund.

However, it is known that the market is volatile and three weeks is a long time. By this time, Sadiq had run out of buyers. No offers have come from abroad and Getafe, in the words of Angel Torres and Villarreal, in the statements of its general counsel, Fernando Roig, closed the door on him. The unyielding price Almería have placed on their franchise player could preclude the same bid for Sadiq. Getafe, according to Cadena SER, came to make an offer 20 million plus 5 in variables but nothing really.

In the meantime, days have passed and the African striker’s sporting situation is far from that of a footballer who will change destinations, as Sadiq did. headline in the three league games played to date, accumulating a total 242 minuteswhich, in addition, he had already marked two goals. Speaking to DAZN ahead of the match against Sevilla, El Assy reiterated Almería’s position. “We are waiting for the latest offers. If we have the price we want for Umar Sadiq, we will sell it. We will wait two or three more days,” said the general director of the Andalusian club.

The truth is that, apart from staying fixed in Rubi’s eleven, the environment favors Sadiq who wants to stay or, at least, that although he listens to offers, he does not mind continuing to wear the red and white. His two goals against Elche and Seville They favored that Almería, with its recently promoted status, enjoyed a good start, spiced up with victory against the team from Seville. His teammates repeated that they wanted him to stay and he didn’t no sign of rebellion.

The Royal Society option

However, the shock wave known as the market’s ‘domino effect’ could reach Sadiq. And, is that, as MD learnt, Nigerian is one of the names that hold on Real society as a replacement for Alexander Isak after the sale of the Swedish striker to Newcastle for 70 million. From the Indál club, the stability of its board is remarkable – they want to get less than 30 million for Sadiq -, who does not usually negotiate and does not need to be sold.

But the Real option remains open and, moreover, after the signing of Edinson Cavani for Valencia. We must not forget that Real, with the income from Isak, has the money to acquire the Nigerian, who has a contract until 2025. In addition, Almería would have ‘prepared’ for a new life without Sadiq with the signing of Leo Baptistao.

Apart from the Sadiq affair, the Andalusian team has focused in recent days on bringing in the midfielder. According to the ‘Diario de Almería’, in the chapter on departure, Appiah leaving the club before the market closes, while Curro Sanchez and Puigmal they also won integers to leave Rubi’s team.
