La Liga
Valencia CF has taken a step forward in the transfer market and has already secured the return of Umar Sadiq, a Nigerian forward who played at Mestalla last season for six months on loan.
According to CADENA SER, the striker from Real Sociedad has made a decisive decision: to prioritize the white and black above any other proposal, even accepting a significant financial adjustment to wear the Valencia shirt again.
The operation has surprised due to the willingness of the player himself. The forward, who did not have the expected prominence in San Sebastian, was on the list of several clubs both in LaLiga and abroad. However, the player has remained firm in his desire to return to Mestalla, where he found the trust of Rubén Baraja and the support of fans who still remember him for his goals and his ability to create spaces in attack.
Sadiq has directly conveyed to Real Sociedad that his priority is to return to the Valencia squad. Furthermore, aiming to facilitate the operation, he has agreed to reduce around a third of his current income, showing to what extent he is willing to sacrifice economic matters to once again feel important in a sports project that he considers ideal to relaunch his career.
Umar Sadiq, the signing Valencia lacks
For Valencia CF, this agreement is a triumph on several fronts. Firstly, because it ensures a significant reinforcement for the forward line without the need for exorbitant spending. Secondly, because it sends a clear message to its surroundings: internationally renowned players like Umar Sadiq trust in the club's plan, despite the financial difficulties the entity is facing.
Coach Carlos Corberán had emphasized the need to add offensive pieces that provide alternatives to Hugo Duro and Diego López. With the arrival of the Nigerian forward, the Valencia coach adds a profile that combines power, mobility, and experience at the top level. Additionally, Sadiq is already familiar with the demands of Mestalla, which will facilitate his immediate integration into the team's dynamics.

In San Sebastian, his departure is seen as a logical move. The player never managed to establish himself in Imanol Alguacil's starting eleven, hindered by a serious injury in his first season and strong competition in the txuri-urdin forward line. Now, his desire for a fresh start has ultimately opened a door that Valencia CF did not hesitate to seize.
The Valencia fans celebrate the news as a strategic signing. Sadiq's return not only strengthens the squad but also symbolizes a mutual commitment: the player finds a stage to reclaim prominence, and the club welcomes an attacker hungry to show all he can still contribute in the Spanish League.
The agreement with Umar Sadiq is now a reality. The forward has chosen the path to Mestalla, foregoing more profitable offers and opting for a team that wants him and needs him. A decision that makes him one of the standout names in the market and reinforces Valencia's aspirations for the upcoming season.
