The Girona has become the main obstacle for Valencia CF in completing the signing of Umar Sadiq, the striker from Real Sociedad who is at a crucial moment in his career.

The Nigerian attacker, who left a good impression during his loan spell at Mestalla last season, had expressed his desire to return, but the emergence of the Catalan club has changed the scenario.

Umar Sadiq: Between Valencia and Girona

At 28 years old, Umar Sadiq is looking for a place to regain continuity. After failing to secure a place in San Sebastian, the forward was willing to push for his return to Valencia, the team where he connected with the fans and scored 5 goals with 3 assists in just six months. However, the offer from Girona FC has changed the rules of the game, as they aim to acquire him outright, a strategy that aligns better with Real Sociedad's approach.

Sources close to the situation state that the player remains keen on a return to Mestalla, but the Donostia club views positively the prospect of a permanent transfer. In this standoff, the player's will could prove crucial.

Valencia's Insistence on Offensive Priority

Coach Carlos Corberán has been clear: he needs attacking reinforcements and has identified Sadiq as the main target before the transfer window closes. The plan is to support Hugo Duro and Diego López with a physically strong striker experienced in LaLiga.

Sadiq, aware of this trust, is willing to reduce his salary by a third to return to Valencia CF. This act of commitment has been seen as a decisive gesture at Mestalla, although it doesn't guarantee the deal will conclude on the desired terms.

Girona, a Real Threat in the Market

The interest from Girona is not coincidental. Míchel is looking for a forward to complement the speed of the rest of his attackers and provide offensive alternatives for the Champions League campaign. Sadiq's profile fits into this plan, and the Catalans have the financial solvency to handle a purchase, which appeals to Real Sociedad.

Currently, in San Sebastián, they are waiting for a concrete offer exceeding 10 million euros, an amount that could deter a financially limited Valencia.

Sadiq's statistics support his impact as a forward. During his time at Valencia CF, apart from his goals, he excelled in creating spaces and engaging defenders. Although he couldn't establish himself at Real Sociedad, mainly due to a serious injury in his first season, his quality is undeniable.

The current dilemma pits the player's desire against the financial interests of the clubs. If Girona accelerates with a firm offer, they might snatch a signing that seemed destined for Valencia.

With less than two weeks remaining until the close of the transfer window, the future of Umar Sadiq remains uncertain, but it looks likely that Girona and Valencia will battle it out till the end.
