Despite 11 caps for Nigeria's Super Eagles, the striker's career needs saving and he could revive it with a move in January
Nigerian forward Umar Sadiq may be on the brink of a career-saving transfer this winter as Getafe looks to bolster its attack with his services.
The 26-year-old has struggled to secure playing time at Real Sociedad, and a potential move to Getafe could provide the opportunity for him to reignite his form and prove his worth.
Getafe's interest in Sadiq gains momentum
As the winter transfer window approaches, Getafe is determined to add firepower to their frontline, following the loss of Mason Greenwood and Enes Unal, as well as an injury to Borja Mayoral.
)
Nigerian striker Sadiq has emerged as their top target after the Super Eagles forward endured a tough start to the 2024/25 season at Real Sociedad, where limited minutes have plagued him.
Recovering from a major injury has not been easy for Sadiq, and the Basque side’s coach has opted for other attacking options, leaving the Nigerian out of the starting lineup often.
)
Getafe, currently seeking a striker with LaLiga experience, see Sadiq as the perfect fit and the club believes the Nigerian forward can bring a much-needed boost to their frontline, which has been struggling to find goals this season with only seven goals in nine games.
Real Sociedad open to Sadiq's departure
Sadiq’s current side Real Sociedad appears ready to facilitate his move, as the player looks for a fresh start where he can get more playing time.
)
After a standout season with Almeria that initially brought him to the attention of many in Spain, Sadiq has not fully recovered the form that made him one of LaLiga’s top attacking prospects after suffering a horrific ACL injury in his debut season with Real Sociedad.
However, Getafe is confident that a change of scenery could help him rediscover his goal-scoring touch.
)
Negotiations between the two clubs could move swiftly in the coming weeks, with both parties eager to finalise the deal in time for the second half of the season.
