La Liga club Valencia have to sell or loan out one attacker in their squad to make space for Super Eagles striker Sadiq Umar, Soccernet.ng reports.
Sadiq’s future has been in the balance in recent months due to his struggles at Real Sociedad. The 27-year-old Super Eagles striker joined Txuri-urdin two years ago, but his time has been blighted with injuries and he has failed to deliver whenever he is fit.
In recent months, there have been talks linking him with a transfer to La Liga clubs Valencia and Getafe. But nothing has been concluded yet as the transfer market is not open yet.
Meanwhile, it seems like Valencia will have issues getting Sadiq’s transfer sorted. This is as Football Espana report that Los Ches have to let go of an attacker to make space for Sadiq, and this is due to La Liga’s stringent financial rules.
The number one option for Valencia to let go is Rafa Mir. The Spaniard has failed to impress at Valencia since his loan transfer from Sevilla last summer. And shipping him out will free up their finances.
Real Sociedad have already slapped a €1 million price tag on Sadiq for clubs interested in signing him on loan, and this is a decent fee for the clubs interested.
Sadiq will be desperate to get the deal sorted so he can get back to playing regular football.
