Umar Sadiq could become Real Oviedo's key bet to strengthen their attack as they return to the elite of Spanish football. After missing out on Luka Jovic, who chose to sign with AEK Athens, the Asturian team has intensified their search for a reliable striker and has turned their attention to the Nigerian forward from Real Sociedad. Sadiq's profile fits what Oviedo seeks to confidently face the new season in La Liga.
Umar Sadiq on Real Oviedo's Agenda
The African international has not had the expected prominence in San Sebastián, and his immediate future seems to be moving away from Anoeta. In this scenario, Real Oviedo has initiated contacts with the aim of incorporating the player, although negotiations are not progressing smoothly. Oviedo aims for a loan deal, while Real Sociedad prefers a permanent sale, valuing his departure at around nine million euros.
The 28-year-old forward arrived at the txuri-urdin team with a strong market reputation, but injuries and tough competition have prevented him from establishing himself in the starting eleven. His desire for more playing time and to regain form makes him open to a change of scenery. However, the financial differences between the two clubs currently complicate the outcome of the operation.
Meanwhile, Real Oviedo continues to work on various alternatives, although the club understands that Sadiq possesses many of the qualities they seek in their striker. Real Sociedad, on the other hand, does not rule out keeping him in the squad if a proposal that meets their demands does not materialize. The coming days could be decisive in clarifying the future of the Nigerian, whose name keeps gaining momentum in the market.
