The Super Eagles star shared the picture of a middle finger on Instagram, which generally means “f*** you”.

The reason behind Sadiq’s cryptic message is still unknown, however, it could be a message to Real Sociedad after he was told he was not needed anymore.

However, a few minutes later, Sadiq removed the first post and uploaded a new one in which he expressed regret and clarified that it was not directed towards anyone in particular.
Sadiq wrote, “Apologies on my recent post, it was a post by mistake. I didn’t do it intentionally. I am not referring to something or against anyone. Thanks for your understanding, you all should stay blessed.”

Real Sociedad has not yet responded to the message, but if it was directed at them, it would worsen an already tense relationship.
Sadiq is rumoured to be leaving Real Sociedad this summer, and Getafe is thought to be his likely destination.
