The Umar Sadiq era at Real Sociedad seems to be coming to an end. The Nigerian forward, who has not yet joined the preseason under the guidance of Sergio Francisco, is at the center of discussions between the Basque club and Samsunspor, the surprise team of the last season in the Turkish league.

Although not called up by the Nigerian national team, Sadiq has enjoyed a few additional days of rest and is expected to rejoin on July 14. However, his future seems far from San Sebastián. The Basque club has already informed him that he is not part of their plans for this new phase, and his circle is working to find him a new destination.

Real demands 10 million for Sadiq

Samsunspor has shown genuine interest and has initiated formal contacts with the player's representatives and Real Sociedad. The Ottoman club, aiming for a spot in the Europa League, is looking to strengthen their attacking sector and sees the Nigerian as an ideal piece. According to Turkish media, the coaching staff has endorsed his signing, and the club's president, Yüksel Yildirim, has given the green light to negotiations.

As reported by EstadioDeportivo, Real Sociedad is asking for around 10 million euros for the striker, half the amount they invested to bring him from Almería. Meanwhile, Samsunspor's interest has sparked enthusiasm among their fans, convinced that Sadiq could be key to their continental aspirations.
