With new manager Carlos Corberan tasked with reviving Los Che, the club is targeting reinforcements to climb from the bottom of the La Liga table, but securing his services will require overcoming significant hurdles.
Valencia eye January move for Sadiq
The Nigerian striker, currently at Real Sociedad, has struggled to replicate the form that made him a standout at Almería.
)
Since joining La Real, he has scored just four goals in 50 appearances, hindered by injuries and a loss of form.
Both Sadiq and Real Sociedad are reportedly open to a loan move, providing Valencia with a glimmer of hope in the January window.

However, a deal hinges on Valencia’s ability to offload another forward. Rafa Mir, who is on loan from Sevilla, is the likely candidate.
Despite his initial promise, Mir has faced disciplinary issues and failed to make a significant impact.

Sevilla has no plans to recall him, and Mir himself seems intent on staying at Mestalla, complicating Valencia’s efforts to make room for Sadiq.

While Miguel Angel Corona, Valencia’s sporting director, is working hard to secure Sadiq, the club’s financial constraints and logistical hurdles make the move a nightmare situation.
Sadiq’s addition could provide a much-needed boost to a struggling attack, but sacrifices will be necessary to finalise the deal.

Valencia’s survival in La Liga could hinge on their ability to land Sadiq and the January window will test their resolve as they fight to turn their season around.
