Valencia does not give up on strengthening its forward line and has once again knocked on Real Sociedad's door in an attempt to secure the loan of Umar Sadiq. As reported by El Diario Vasco, Valencia has put forward an economic proposal that includes covering the full salary of the Nigerian striker, a fixed amount for the loan, and additional incentives based on performance goals. However, San Sebastián has not yet given the green light to the deal.

Just over a month ago, Real Sociedad's response was firm: Sadiq would only leave through a transfer, not another loan. This stance led Valencia to temporarily withdraw, knowing it couldn't afford a signing exceeding ten million euros. Nevertheless, as time passed, Valencia's hope has been reignited, especially seeing that the African forward has not played minutes during the Txuri-urdin pre-season, indicating he is not in Sergio Francisco's plans.

Other options exist but Corberán wants Sadiq

Carlos Corberán, Valencia's coach, has persistently pushed for Sadiq's arrival, considering him an ideal fit to bolster their attacking line, currently led solely by Hugo Duro. While awaiting a final response from Real Sociedad, Valencia is also exploring other avenues, such as the possible loan of Iván Azón, negotiations ongoing with Como, and interest in Cyle Larin, a striker from Mallorca.

With the transfer market still open, Valencia is keeping its options open. Sadiq is back on the radar, and despite the challenges in the deal, Valencia has decided to vigorously pursue a player who has the full backing of their coach.
