The situation of Umar Sadiq has become one of the main topics of conversation at a critical moment for Real Sociedad, who are facing a winter transfer market full of decisions.

The club, far from its best form in LaLiga, is seeking a radical change to avoid repeating an irregular season in Spain like the previous one. The current 13 points and the fourteenth position have raised alarms at Anoeta. Although the team has shown some improvement in recent matchdays, the sporting direction has already acknowledged that January must be a time to adjust pieces and restructure the squad. Up to six departures are expected, an unusual number for the club, but necessary to revitalize the project.

Umar Sadiq, the first piece on the market board

The name of Umar Sadiq stands out as a key part of the remodeling plan. The Nigerian forward has had little presence in this season's start, and his role has been diminishing with each matchday. His potential move to Valencia during the summer was halted due to financial reasons, but the operation could be revived with the arrival of the winter market.

At Real Sociedad, they believe that his departure would free up salary, restore balance in the attack, and facilitate movements to strengthen the squad. For the player himself, the lack of minutes presents an unsustainable scenario. He aspires to regain the level he showed at Almería, something that now seems challenging in San Sebastián. The club aims to resolve his case as soon as possible, as it is crucial to reorganize the offensive line and make decisions regarding other young profiles.

A complete review of the squad

The restructuring not only involves Umar Sadiq. In defense, Álvaro Odriozola leads the list of candidates to leave the team. Despite scoring a goal this season, his participation has been minimal, and the coaching staff believes he does not fit the current plan. In midfield, Luka Sucic is another player under scrutiny. The Croatian, signed for a significant amount with the expectation of bringing freshness, has completely lost prominence. The club does not rule out finding a way to recoup part of the investment.

LaLiga as the barometer for the txuri-urdin moment

The club's decisions are influenced by the current situation in LaLiga, where competitiveness requires immediate reactions. Jon Karrikaburu may seek playing time elsewhere, but his case is directly linked to what happens with Umar Sadiq. If the Nigerian leaves, the homegrown player could remain as an offensive alternative. Mikel Goti is another candidate for a strategic loan. He has had minimal participation, and Real Sociedad believes a loan could accelerate his development.

Even Arsen Zakharyan, despite having more minutes than other young players, has not managed to establish himself in the starting eleven, and his continuity is under review.

January will mark a turning point at Anoeta

January is shaping up to be a crucial month, both to free up spots and to activate new signings. The priority is to balance the squad and revive the team in a phase of the season where each point could be decisive in Spain. The board aims to finalize exits as soon as possible to execute the planned reinforcements. Major expenses are not expected, but strategic moves are anticipated to restore order, intensity, and tactical clarity.

Among all pending operations, the future of Umar Sadiq will be decisive. His departure —or stay— will shape the map of the new winter project and set the course for the team in the second half of the season.
