Nigerian striker, Umar Sadiq has successfully passed his medical at Valencia, signaling the imminent conclusion of his move to the La Liga club.
The transfer is structured as a loan with a non-obligatory purchase clause, and Sadiq’s contract at Real Sociedad runs until the summer of 2028.
Before heading to the medical center, Sadiq expressed his excitement to fans, confirming he would be attending Valencia’s match against Real Madrid this evening.
“I’m very happy, I’ll be at Mestalla tonight,” before jumping into an official club car.
Despite struggling since a knee injury in 2022, Sadiq’s potential move to Valencia offers him a fresh start.
His career had flourished previously, especially during his time on loan at Partizan Belgrade, and with Almeria in Spain.
Valencia, facing ongoing struggles in attack, has been looking for a solution.
Summer signings Rafa Mir and Dani Gómez have not lived up to expectations, leaving the club in need of additional firepower.
Sadiq’s arrival is expected to provide Valencia with a much-needed offensive boost as they work to improve their standing in La Liga.
