Super Eagles striker, Umar Sadiq axed from Real Sociedad pre-season squad

Super Eagles of Nigeria striker, Umar Sadiq, has been axed from Real Sociedad’s pre-season squad for the clubs summer tour of Japan to further cast doubt over his future in San Sebastin. The 28-year-old forward, who joined the Spanish side from Almera in 2022 for a reported 20 million fee, has struggled to make an impact since his arrival at the club. This comes after reports in Spanish media claimed that new manager Sergio Francisco does not see him as part of his plans for the upcoming season. Sadiq was also left out of the matchday squad for Real Sociedads recent friendly against French side Pau FC. This decision indicates that the 28-year-old forward is not part of coach Sergio Franciscos plans, which brings his departure from the txuri-urdin team even closer, Levante-EMV reported. His incorporation back to the team is unfeasible at this time in the market. The club remains interested and is awaiting any movement that could facilitate its arrival in the future. Levante-EMV added. Valencia can acquire his services but will have to wait until the end of the summer market because the operation is more economical for them. Club sources have suggested that Sociedads sporting management are actively seeking a solution for the striker, who still has two years left on his contract. The Super Eagles forward spent the second half of last season on loan at Valencia, where he enjoyed a modest resurgence, scoring six goals in 19 appearances. The post Super Eagles striker, Umar Sadiqaxed from Real Sociedad pre-seasonsquad appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
